"Card Number 319, Isabella Terrise, from the Actors and Actresses series (N145-3) issued by Duke Sons & Co. to promote Cross Cut Cigarettes," is a black and white photograph by W. Duke, Sons & Co., dating back to the 1880s. The image, part of a larger series of trading cards featuring actors and actresses, depicts Isabella Terrise holding a bird in her hand and looking thoughtfully towards it.
