This is a trade card from the "From the Actresses series" (N57) produced by Allen & Ginter in 1890 to promote their "Our Little Beauties" brand of cigarettes. The card depicts a young woman, possibly an actress, in a white dress and bonnet sitting on a ledge. This card is one of many produced by the Allen & Ginter company in the late 19th century to promote their tobacco products. The company was known for creating collectible cards featuring a wide variety of subjects, including actors, actresses, baseball players, and historical figures.
