This is a black and white photographic portrait of actress Anna Suits from the *Actresses* series, created by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1890. This series was part of a larger promotional campaign for Sweet Caporal cigarettes. The image is a close-up portrait of Suits, capturing her face and upper torso. The image features a simple composition, emphasizing the subject's features, and the use of sepia tones adds to the historical feel of the piece. The portrait provides a glimpse into the world of late 19th-century theater and the use of trade cards as a marketing tool.
