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

"War Dance" is a chromolithograph from the "National Dances" series of trading cards produced by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1889. This particular card depicts a Native American man in a feathered headdress performing a war dance. The card's vibrant colors and detailed imagery are typical of the chromolithographic printing process, which was popular in the late 19th century. The card's subject matter, Native American culture, was a popular theme in American art and culture at the time. "War Dance" is a fascinating example of the use of trading cards as a form of popular art and as a way to promote products, in this case, Kinney Brothers Tobacco.
