Fannie McIntyre, from the Actresses series (N245) issued by Kinney Brothers to promote Sweet Caporal Cigarettes 1890

"Fannie McIntyre, from the Actresses series (N245)" is a trade card produced by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1890 to promote Sweet Caporal Cigarettes. It features a photograph of the actress Fannie McIntyre, who is shown standing against a backdrop of curtains in a flowing gown. The card is a prime example of the tobacco industry's use of celebrity endorsements in the late 19th century, as well as the burgeoning use of photography as a tool for mass media. The card is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York.
