EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Miss Ethel Selwyn, an enchanting actress and vocalist from the late 19th century. The image is part of the renowned "Worlds Beauties" series (N26) produced by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes in 1888. Miss Selwyn's beauty and talent are beautifully captured in this lithograph, which emanates a sense of elegance and grace. Dressed in a stunning Victorian gown, Miss Selwyn exudes confidence as she poses for the camera. Her dress is adorned with intricate details that reflect the fashion trends of the time, while her choker necklace and string of pearls add a touch of sophistication to her ensemble. With her radiant smile and expressive eyes, it is evident why she was considered one of America's most beautiful women during that era. Beyond her physical appearance, this portrait also symbolizes the thriving arts scene in America at the turn of the century. Miss Selwyn's profession as an actress and singer highlights how entertainment played a significant role in society during this period. It serves as a reminder of how music and theater were cherished forms of escapism for people seeking respite from their daily lives. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this trade card not only captures Miss Ethel Selwyn's allure but also represents an important piece of American heritage. As we admire this remarkable photograph today, we can appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance within our country's cultural tapestry.
