Here is a compilation of images of the dancing servant girl in the "Ali Baba" story of Arabian Nights, Morgiana (sometimes called Marghana or other similar names). The books often have pictures of her with the thief-jars (probably more commonly than they show her dancing), but I'm only including the dancing ones.
The pictures are listed with the illustrator name (if known), and arranged by publish date (estimated when I don't have it).
