"Sailor's Hornpipe" is a chromolithograph from a set of "National Dances" cards issued by the Kinney Bros. Tobacco Company in 1889. The card depicts a young woman in a sailor's outfit performing the "Sailor's Hornpipe", a traditional Irish dance. The card is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, and its small size (2 3/4 × 1 1/2 in.) suggests it was likely a collectible item for the company's tobacco products. The vivid colors and detailed imagery of the chromolithograph provide a glimpse into the popular culture and entertainment of the late 19th century.
