EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century lithograph print showcases the stunning Ada Rehan, a renowned American actress and comedienne. The image is part of the "Worlds Beauties" series created by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes in 1888. Ada Rehan's beauty and talent are beautifully captured in this color portrait, reflecting the fashion and style of the Victorian era. Dressed elegantly in a period costume, Ada Rehan exudes grace and charm as she gazes into the distance. Her expressive eyes convey her prowess on stage, hinting at her ability to captivate audiences with her performances. As one of America's most beloved actresses during that time, she became an icon for women across the country. The significance of this trade card extends beyond its commercial purpose; it represents a snapshot of entertainment history from over a century ago. This artwork now resides within The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), preserving not only Ada Rehan's legacy but also celebrating American theater heritage. As we admire this lithograph today, we are transported back to an era where acting was celebrated as an art form and where talented individuals like Ada Rehan brought joy to countless spectators through their comedic genius. This print serves as a testament to both female empowerment and cultural appreciation, reminding us of our rich artistic past while inspiring future generations with its timeless beauty.
