Fräulein Andree, from the Actors and Actresses series (N45, Type 1) for Virginia Brights Cigarettes 1885 - 1891

"Fräulein Andree" is a carte-de-visite from the "Actors and Actresses" series produced by Allen & Ginter for Virginia Brights Cigarettes. Created between 1885 and 1891, this small-format photograph features a posed portrait of the actress, "Fräulein Andree". The image highlights her dramatic pose and the fashionable attire of the period. The card, which is typical of the genre, was given away with purchases of Virginia Brights Cigarettes. It is a fascinating example of advertising and collecting from the late 19th century.
