"Hora De Brien," from the *National Dances* series, is a chromolithographic trade card created in 1889 by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company. The card depicts a woman in traditional costume, possibly from Romania, performing a hora dance. The vibrant colors and detailed depiction of the woman's clothing and movements capture the energy and spirit of traditional folk dance. This trade card, like other examples from the series, served as a form of advertising for Kinney Brothers tobacco products while showcasing different national dances. *National Dances* trade cards, like this example, offer a glimpse into the cultural practices and aesthetics of the late 19th century.
