This is a photograph from the "Actresses" series issued by Kinney Brothers in 1890 to promote Sweet Caporal Cigarettes. The series features portraits of actresses, each holding a card advertising the cigarettes. The image depicts a woman, possibly an actress, wearing a floral headdress and a long, flowing dress. The photograph, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, showcases a vintage style of advertising and captures the beauty of a bygone era, making it a valuable piece for collectors and historians.
