"Helen Dauvray" is a chromolithograph from the "World's Beauties" series of trading cards issued by Allen & Ginter in 1888. These cards, which featured images of famous women from the era, were included in packs of Allen & Ginter cigarettes. The card depicts a woman in profile, adorned with flowers in her hair and a pearl necklace, showcasing the style of the late 19th century. This card, now held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the popular culture and advertising trends of the era.
