Goodwin & Company, a New York tobacco firm, issued this card under the Old Judge name, and its title was devised by Library staff. Made as an albumen print between 1887 and 1890, it reflects a time when cigarette makers slipped photographic cards into their packages, giving fans a way to collect images of ballplayers. The card is part of the Benjamin K. Edwards Collection of baseball cards in the Library's Prints and Photographs Division.
