"Highland Fling" is a colorful chromolithograph from the "National Dances" series produced by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1889. The artwork features a lively depiction of a man in traditional Highland dress, performing the Highland Fling, a spirited Scottish dance. This trade card, intended for the packaging of Kinney Brothers' tobacco products, reflects the popular fascination with Scottish culture and national dances during the late 19th century. The vibrant colors and detailed depiction of the dancer's costume, including the kilt, sporran, and feathered bonnet, add to the visual appeal of this collectible piece.
