"Miss Leriche," a carte de visite photograph, is part of the "Actresses" series issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. in 1889. The photograph, likely taken for promotional purposes, features a young woman, Miss Leriche, in a simple pose, gazing slightly off to the side. The carte de visite format, popular in the 19th century, allowed for mass production and distribution of portrait photographs, making this a valuable artifact for those studying the history of photography and the cultural impact of the performing arts.
