Florine, from the Ballet Queens series (N182) issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. 1889

"Florine, from the Ballet Queens series" is a chromolithograph from 1889 by William S. Kimball & Company. Part of a set of trading cards, the image depicts a female dancer in a theatrical costume, possibly a ballerina, posing in a studio setting. The artist captures the elaborate detail of her stage attire, including her ruffled sleeves and the delicate, pink gloves that are a prominent visual element. This card would have been circulated as part of the "Ballet Queens" series, highlighting the popularity of ballet during this period. The image's vivid colors and the use of stippling were typical of chromolithographic printing, and this work is a prime example of trade card imagery during the late 19th century.
