This chromolithograph, part of the "Dancing Girls of the World" series by Wm. S. Kimball & Co., depicts a female figure in traditional Sudanese clothing. The woman, with a white dress and red sash, dances on a sandy background with palm trees in the distance. Printed in 1889, this trade card is an example of the popular 19th-century trend of collecting and exchanging such cards, showcasing global cultures and their unique dances, as seen in this image.
