Miss Rubens, from the Actresses series (N203) issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. 1889

"Miss Rubens," a 1889 photographic print from the "Actresses" series, is a portrait of a seated woman, likely an actress of the time. The image, part of a larger set issued by William S. Kimball & Co. to advertise their cigarettes, presents the subject in a simple, elegant pose, emphasizing her presence and perhaps a sense of luxury associated with the product. This collectible card, now held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, serves as a valuable visual document of late 19th-century advertising practices and the world of theater.
