"Miss Rita Hart" is a small, black and white, photographic trading card from the "Actors and Actresses" series produced by Allen & Ginter for Virginia Brights Cigarettes. The card features a portrait of the actress Rita Hart, likely taken during a performance. The trading card is an example of a 19th-century marketing tactic, using popular figures of the time to promote a product. The artwork is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York, NY. This type of artwork was popular in the 1880s and 1890s and was often used as a form of advertising.
