Summary

Description
English: Geraldine Ulmar, as Yum-Yum in The Mikado, American production of August 1885 to May 1886 or slightly later. Falk gives it a "Copyright 1896", so probably a bit later in the run.

The bottom of this one is slightly cut off. An alternate copy here shows the bit of the cabinet card that was cut.

There's some evidence of (1886-era) editing around where she's sitting on the moon. Possibly evidence of a montage, might just be retouching - certainly the outer space scene looks enhanced.. I didn't edit that part too much to avoid misleading.
