"Folly Dancer" is a chromolithograph from the "Dancing Women" series, published by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. in 1889. This charming card depicts a woman dressed in a jester's costume, complete with a pointed hat, bells, and a playful expression. The vibrant colors and detailed design showcase the artistry of chromolithography, a popular printing technique in the late 19th century. This card, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, offers a glimpse into the fashionable and whimsical world of late Victorian entertainment.
