"Sailor's Hornpipe" is a lithograph from a series of trade cards produced by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1889. The card depicts a sailor in a traditional uniform, performing a lively dance. The lively scene of the sailor, dressed in his uniform while performing the hornpipe, was a popular motif in American visual culture of the late 19th century. The trade card serves as an example of advertising that utilized popular imagery of the time to promote Kinney Brothers Tobacco. This is a chromolithograph, meaning that it is a lithograph printed in multiple colors, commonly used for trade cards during the late 19th century.
