This 1889 cabinet card from the Actresses series, by William S. Kimball & Co., features Miss Clementi. The image is a close-up portrait of Miss Clementi in a revealing, chainmail-like costume, which was a popular style for actresses in the late 19th century. The card is a prime example of a trade card, used as advertising by William S. Kimball & Co., a prominent cigarette manufacturer. This card is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.
