Kosaka, from National Dances (N225, Type 1) issued by Kinney Bros. 1889

"Kosaka" is a chromolithograph from the "National Dances" series issued by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1889. This card features a woman in traditional garb, perhaps representing a dancer, against a brown background. It is a beautiful example of the trade cards produced by tobacco companies during the late 19th century. The image is likely intended to depict a "Kosak" or a Cossack, a member of a historical and cultural group in Eastern Europe. The intricate details of the woman's costume and the bright colors used highlight the visual appeal of this collectible.
