"Foulard," from the "National Dances" series of trading cards issued by Kinney Bros. Tobacco Company in 1889, depicts a woman in a colorful, patterned dress and head scarf, performing a dance. The card, part of a series that depicted various national dances, is a vibrant and detailed depiction of the "Foulard" dance, likely referencing a type of French folk dance. The card's small size (7 x 3.8 cm) and its use as a collectible item for tobacco products exemplify a popular trend of the late 19th century. The card's vivid colors and intricate details make it an interesting historical artifact.
