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

"Miss Tillbury," from the "Actresses" series of trade cards issued by Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1890, is a sepia-toned photograph depicting the actress Miss Tillbury. The image shows her posed in a seated position, her hands clasped in her lap, and her gaze directed toward the viewer. This trade card, like the others in the series, is an example of how tobacco companies marketed their products through collectible cards that featured famous personalities of the day. The card is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
