"Miss Martonet" is a trade card from the *Actresses* series, issued by Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1890 to promote Sweet Caporal cigarettes. The black and white photograph depicts a young woman in a white dress, standing behind a weathered wooden rail, against a blurred forest background. The card features a simple, elegant design, typical of the era, and would have been included in a pack of cigarettes as a collectible. The image offers a glimpse into the world of late 19th-century entertainment, and is a valuable artifact for collectors of ephemera, trade cards, and the history of tobacco advertising.
