"John Francis Coleman, Right Field, Pittsburgh" is a black and white photograph from the *Old Judge* series of trading cards, produced by Goodwin & Company in 1887. The card features a portrait of John Francis Coleman, a baseball player for the Pittsburgh Alleghenys, holding a bat and standing against a plain background. The card itself is quite small, measuring just 2 11/16 x 1 3/8 inches, and was originally intended to be part of a pack of cigarettes, a popular promotional tactic in the 19th century. Today, this card is part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
