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

"Miss Jarbeau," part of the "Actresses" series of trade cards, is a photographic portrait of an unnamed woman who is likely a well-known actress of the time. This card, printed in 1889 by William S. Kimball & Company, was likely given away with the purchase of cigarettes, as the bottom of the card reads "Wm. S. Kimball & Co.'s Cigarettes." The card's small size, 2 5/8 × 1 3/8 in., exemplifies the popularity of these collectible cards in the late 19th century, making it a part of American cultural history.
