"Mlle. Vanoni" is a photographic trade card created by Allen & Ginter as part of their "Actors and Actresses" series for Virginia Brights Cigarettes. The image, measuring just 2 3/4 x 1 3/8 inches, depicts Mlle. Vanoni in profile, her gaze directed away from the viewer, possibly towards the stage. The card is a testament to the marketing strategies of the late 19th century, using the popularity of theater to promote tobacco products.
