Snake Dance, from National Dances (N225, Type 1) issued by Kinney Bros. 1889

"Snake Dance" is a chromolithograph from the "National Dances" series, created in 1889 by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company. Depicting a woman in traditional garb dancing with a snake, the card embodies the fascination with exotic cultures during the late 19th century. The vibrant colors and detailed depiction of the woman's costume add a sense of realism and allure, making it a captivating example of trade card art. The card's small size (7 × 3.8 cm) reflects its intended purpose as a collectible promotional item for Kinney Brothers tobacco products.
