Blonde actress wearing petite straw-brimmed cap decorated with white flowers, from Stars of the Stage, Third Series (N131) issued by Duke Sons & Co. to promote Honest Long Cut Tobacco 1891 - 1892

This chromolithograph, part of the "Stars of the Stage" series issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co. to promote their "Honest Long Cut" tobacco, features a young blonde actress wearing a straw hat decorated with white flowers. The image, which is a portrait, was created between 1891 and 1892. It is a prime example of the "trade card" genre, which was popular in the late 19th century. This "Stars of the Stage" series, along with other tobacco-related trade cards, now reside in the collections of museums like the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
