This 1888 lithograph by Goodwin & Company is a "baseball card" from a series of cards commissioned by Old Judge and Gypsy Queen cigarettes. It depicts Ed Andrews, the center fielder for the Philadelphia Phillies. The card features Andrews's portrait, with a detailed illustration of his face and uniform, typical of these early baseball cards. The card is a small, printed rectangle, part of a set of collectible cards, that were included with packs of cigarettes in the 19th century. These cards are now considered important collectibles in the history of baseball memorabilia.
