More Info:
Hilda Louise Hanbury, née Alcock, married Fox and later Guedella (1875 in St Pancras, London; 1961 in St. Austell) was an English actress.

Hanbury was the daughter of Matthew Henry Alcock (born 1842) and his wife Elisabeth Davis (1844–1941). Her older sister Lily Hanbury (1874–1908; born Lillian Florence Alcock)was also an actress. Their cousin was actress Julia Neilson.

Hilda Hanbury performed at London Music Halls. In 1891 she made her stage debut as a teenager in London\'s West End as Nancy Ditch in the play Miss Tomboy by Robert Buchanan. She was also seen on stage as a member of Herbert Beerbohm Trees\' theatre group,of which she had been a member since 1892. With the Beerbohm Tree Company she also made a guest appearance on an American tour in New York Cityin 1895.

Her stage roles included the role of Mrs. Clarence in the 1899 premiered, then very successful fantastic comedy A Message from Mars by Richard Ganthony. In August/September 1901 she appeared at London\'s Imperial Theatre as Mrs. Prescott in the play A Man of His World by Boyle Lawrence. In February 1895 she was also part of the American premiere cast of Sydney Grundy\'s play A Bunch of Violets at Abbey\'s Theatre in New York with the role of Countess Volkker. [4] From the period around 1900 there are also photographs, artist postcards and cigarette pictures by Hilda Hanbury, which indicate a certain popularity. Unlike her sister Lily Hanbury, however, she mostly played small roles.

In 1905 she left the stage. In the same year she married Arthur William Fox (* 1870) in St. Giles Church in London; one of their three children was artist agent Robin Fox. The divorce took place in 1923. A second marriage took place with Herbert Guedella, her brother-in-law and husband of her late sister Lily. (ref wikipedia)

Cigarette cards are trading cards issued by tobacco manufacturers to stiffen cigarette packaging and advertise cigarette brands.

Between 1875 and the 1940s, cigarette companies often included collectible cards with their packages of cigarettes. Cigarette card sets document popular culture from the turn of the century, often depicting the period\'s actresses, costumes, and sports, as well as offering insights into mainstream humor and cultural norms.

Beginning in 1875, cards depicting actresses, baseball players, Indian chiefs, boxers, national flags or wild animals were issued by the U.S.-based Allen & Ginter tobacco company. These are considered to be some of the first cigarette cards. Other tobacco companies such as Goodwin & Co. soon followed suit. They first emerged in the U.S., then the UK, then, eventually, in many other countries. (ref wikipedia)
