The N253 Lorillard Actresses series is one of a number of Actress sets issued by Lorillard during the latter part of the 19th century. The N253 set has (3) types distinguished generally by the color of the panel on the bottom front of the card and with the subjects in the (3) sub types. The sets include many of the biggest stars of the days like Lillian Russell, Della Fox, Pauline Hall and Isabel Irving--all of which can be found in MANY of the 19th century actress cards. The card backs, like many of the Lorillard's series can be frequently found with spotting which was an apparent side effect of being inserted into Plug tobacco packages.
This lot of (4) N253 Lorillard Actresses include one trimmed and (3) in VGEX condition. The trimmed card is Marie St. Johns and the VGEX include Phyllis Rankin, Kitty Cheatham and Eloise Genet. Great little lot for the set builder.
