The N225 Kinney Tobacco National Dances set is a (50) card set issued by Kinney that pictures natives of different countries doing a national dance of that country. In some instances, both a female and male card exists for given countries and, in others, there is a single card of a male or female for the respective country. The cards can be found with a thin white border around all four sides--the most common format (type A)--or with full bleed photos which are more difficult to find (type B). The natives are set against a gold background on the front and the back has a checklist of the subjects in the set.
This near set of (49/50) N225 Kinney National Dances cards is missing only Tyrolean (male) to be complete. The set is a very pleasing average VGEX condition with just a couple lesser and a few better. This even set would be a great addition to a 19th Century set collection.
