Louise Brooks is not the only Louise Brooks. There have been others. Many people have been named Louise Brooks, though few have gained a reputation as an artist.
The American trading card depicted below dates to the 1890s. It is part of the Kinney Actors & Actresses series. I was curious to find out more, and looked around a newspaper database in which I came across an opera singer and a touring stage actress who shared the name of Louise Brooks. Based on this image, I am going to guess this card depicts the mezzo-soprano.
