D'Oro, Pool, from the Goodwin Champion series for Old Judge and Gypsy Queen Cigarettes 1888

"D'Oro, Pool" is a trade card from the Goodwin Champion series for Old Judge and Gypsy Queen Cigarettes. Created in 1888 by Goodwin & Company, it features a portrait of a man, likely a famous pool player of the time. The card's small size, measuring 2 5/8 x 1 1/2 inches, suggests it was intended for a compact collection. It serves as a promotional piece for the cigarette brands and offers a glimpse into the world of late-19th-century sports and advertising. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York houses this artifact, preserving a piece of American history and advertising from the late 19th century.
