This is a collectible card from the "From the Actors and Actresses series" created by Allen & Ginter between 1885 and 1891. The card features two women, possibly actresses, posed in formal attire. This series of cards, designed to promote Virginia Brights Cigarettes, were popular during the late 19th century and are now considered valuable historical artifacts, reflecting the popular culture and advertising practices of the time. The card's small size, typical for trading cards, makes it a unique and fascinating piece of art history.
