This is a trading card from the *Actors and Actresses* series, produced by Allen & Ginter for Virginia Brights Cigarettes between 1885 and 1891. The card depicts Miss Morgan, a performer of the time, in a simple pose, looking away from the viewer with a thoughtful expression. The black and white photograph, typical of the era, features a high level of detail. The card is a valuable example of early American *carte de visite* photography and a popular form of advertising for the time.
