Snake Dance, from National Dances (N225, Type 2) issued by Kinney Bros. 1889

"Snake Dance" is a chromolithograph from the "National Dances" series of trading cards issued by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1889. The card depicts a woman in traditional garb, performing a snake dance, a practice often associated with indigenous cultures. The vibrant colors and detailed costumes of the figure showcase the artistic style of the late 19th century. The card, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides a glimpse into the fascination with exotic cultures prevalent during this era.
