This chromolithograph, "Cochinchina," is part of the "Dancing Girls of the World" series, a set of collectible cards issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. in 1889. The card depicts a woman in a traditional Cochinchina (now southern Vietnam) costume, standing in a stylized landscape with palm trees and a distant village. The image, created using the chromolithographic process, exemplifies the popular fascination with exotic cultures during the late 19th century. This card is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York, NY.
