"Effie, from the Ballet Queens series (N182)" is a chromolithograph trading card from 1889, part of a series issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. The card depicts a female figure, likely a ballet dancer, in a colorful costume, with a striped turban and a red and green striped skirt. The card is a fascinating example of late 19th-century printmaking and the popularity of trading cards, particularly those featuring performers. It's currently part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
