This is a "baseball card" from the "Old Judge" series, produced by Goodwin & Company from 1888-1889. The card features Samuel E. "Sam" Barkley, a second baseman for the Kansas City Cowboys. The card depicts Barkley in a classic baseball pose, a dynamic action shot, with his glove outstretched, ready to catch a ball. It is a prime example of the early days of sports trading cards, a popular genre that remains widely collected today. The card is a part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.
