"Tyrolean", from the *National Dances* series, is a chromolithograph trading card from 1889 by the Kinney Bros. Tobacco Company. The card depicts a woman in traditional Tyrolean dress, complete with a dirndl skirt, bodice, and a green hat with a feather. The image was likely intended to be a form of advertisement for the Kinney Bros. Tobacco Company, and it is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The bright colors and detailed depiction of the woman's clothing highlight the beauty of traditional Tyrolean costume.
