This is a "cigarette card" from the *Girl Baseball Players* series by Allen & Ginter and is part of the *Dixie Cigarettes* advertising campaign. Printed between 1886 and 1888, this card features a female baseball player in a white uniform, standing on first base with a baseball in her hand. These cards are often collected for their historical significance and their unique perspective on a sport typically associated with men. The card's simple design and straightforward image capture the essence of the game.
