This is a carte-de-visite, a small photograph, depicting actress Kate Fellows. Issued as part of the Actresses series by William S. Kimball & Co. in 1889, the image captures Fellows in a theatrical costume, likely from a play or performance. The photograph, printed on a paper sheet measuring 2 5/8 × 1 3/8 inches, showcases the popular trend of collecting and circulating images of celebrities during the late 19th century. Today, the photograph is part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, offering a glimpse into the world of theatrical performance of that era.
