"Florence P. Stevenson" is a black and white lithograph from the "Actresses" series of trading cards produced by Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1890. Part of a larger set meant to promote Sweet Caporal cigarettes, the image shows a bust-length portrait of the actress with her name printed beneath. These cards are a fascinating glimpse into the popular culture of the late 19th century and are now collected by enthusiasts of ephemera and tobacco-related art. The card is currently part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
