Cachucha, from National Dances (N225, Type 2) issued by Kinney Bros. 1889

This chromolithograph, "Cachucha," is part of a series of cards issued by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1889. It depicts a woman in a colorful, Spanish-inspired costume, holding castanets. The image is a prime example of a popular 19th-century genre of art, known as "trade cards." The cards were often used as promotional materials for tobacco companies, showcasing images of popular entertainment, such as dance and music. This card, with its vibrant colors and detailed depiction of the dancer, is a testament to the artistic craftsmanship of the era. The card is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
