EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Card Number 367 from the Actors and Actresses series (N145-5) issued by Duke Sons & Co. in the 1880s to promote Cameo Cigarettes. The subject of this exquisite portrait is none other than Lizzie Webster, a renowned American actress of the 19th century. With her striking beauty and undeniable talent, Webster captivated audiences across the United States. In this albumen photograph, Webster exudes grace and elegance as she poses on stage in a stunning costume that reflects the fashion of the era. Her intricate dress, complete with tights, highlights her role as a prominent figure in burlesque theater during that time. As one gazes upon this collectible piece of history, it transports us back to an era when smoking was seen as glamorous and fashionable. Although we cannot mention commercial use due to restrictions, it is important to note that cigarette cards like these were highly sought after by collectors at the time. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection today, this image serves as a testament to both Webster's remarkable talent and America's rich theatrical heritage. Through her portrayal on stage and through cigarette card prints like these, Lizzie Webster left an indelible mark on entertainment history in the United States.
