"Miss Lynne, from the Actresses series (N203)" is a trade card issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. in 1889 featuring a portrait of the actress Miss Lynne, likely as an advertisement for their brand of cigarettes. The card depicts Lynne in a theatrical pose, possibly from a performance. The image is a black and white photograph, likely taken in a studio setting, and characteristic of the popular "carte de visite" format common during this period. This piece is part of a series, highlighting the cultural significance of these cards in promoting performers and their work in the late 19th century. The card is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.
