Scandalous Victorian Smoking Lady 8” Card, Antique Advertising ? Pretty Woman Glamour buy Girl w Cigarette, Vintage Late 1800s

Scandalous antique Victorian item, a card showing a pretty young woman smoking a cigarette. I love how the plume of smoke coming out of her mouth mimics the feather plume on her hat. Not sure if this was an advertising piece that never got printed on the back, or what it is exactly buy. Top edge and left side definitely trimmed unevenly, possibly cut from a larger piece. Fantastic subject matter. Late 1800s. Light cardboard. About 8 1/8” tall by 6” wide.

Some normal handling wear, minor creasing, normal age toning and normal vintage soiling, some minor edge wear and corner wear, etc.
