Italian Dancer, from the Dancing Women series (N186) issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. 1889

"Italian Dancer" is a chromolithograph from the "Dancing Women" series issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. in 1889. It depicts a female dancer in a traditional ballet costume, with a flowing pink tutu and red ballet shoes. The image is likely part of a larger series of trade cards that were commonly used in the late 19th century for advertising and marketing. The card's small size and vibrant colors are characteristic of this type of collectible. This particular card was part of a larger set highlighting dancers of different nationalities and was likely used to promote the products of Wm. S. Kimball & Co.
