"Montenegro" is a colorful lithograph from the "Dancing Girls of the World" series, created by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. in 1889. The image portrays a woman in traditional Montenegrin attire, standing against a backdrop of a landscape featuring a distant village and sea. This card, like others in the series, was likely produced as a trade card, and features vibrant colors and meticulous detail. The artist has captured the woman's pose with a sense of both grace and strength, reflecting the cultural identity of the region. The image provides a glimpse into the fashion and culture of Montenegro in the late 19th century, making it a fascinating example of cultural documentation through lithographic printing.
