Miss Nouveaute, from the Actresses series (N203) issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. 1889

"Miss Nouveaute" is a black and white photograph from the Actresses series, created by William S. Kimball & Co. in 1889. The image showcases a woman in a dramatic hat, a popular fashion choice of the late 19th century. This type of card, known as a "trade card," was commonly used in the era to advertise products, in this case, Wm. S. Kimball & Co.'s cigarettes. The card's small size, measuring 2 5/8 × 1 3/8 in. (6.6 × 3.5 cm), reflects the popularity of collectible cards during this time. This particular card is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
