Horning, Left Field, Boston, from the Old Judge series (N172) for Old Judge Cigarettes 1887

This 1887 lithograph, "Horning, Left Field, Boston," from the "Old Judge" series for Old Judge Cigarettes, features professional baseball player, "Horning," dressed in his Boston uniform, holding a baseball, and is a prime example of the early baseball card collecting craze of the late 19th century. Created by Goodwin & Company, a prominent New York City lithographic company, this card was one of a series of trade cards used to promote Old Judge Cigarettes. The card is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
