Cyprus, from the Dancing Girls of the World series (N185) issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. 1889

This chromolithograph, part of the "Dancing Girls of the World" series, depicts a woman in traditional Cypriot dress. The artist, William S. Kimball & Company, created this piece in 1889 as a trade card for the company's tobacco products. The vibrant colors and detailed rendering of the woman's costume and the background landscape, including a distant town and a river, showcase the beauty of Cypriot culture. This collectible card offers a glimpse into late 19th-century commercial art and the use of trade cards as a marketing tool.
