This is a baseball card of player "Burch, L. F., Brooklyn" from the "Old Judge" series created by Goodwin & Company in 1887 for Old Judge Cigarettes. The card features a black and white image of the player in a baseball uniform, capturing a moment of action. The card is a prime example of the early days of baseball card collecting, popularized by tobacco companies in the 19th century. The card is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection.
