Sullivan, Left Field, Chicago, from the Old Judge series (N172) for Old Judge Cigarettes 1887

This 1887 baseball card, part of the *Old Judge* series by Goodwin & Company, features a portrait of Chicago White Stockings left fielder Tim "Old Man" Sullivan. The card showcases Sullivan in his baseball uniform, positioned as if catching a ball. The card, like many of the *Old Judge* series, served as a promotional tool for Old Judge Cigarettes. This vintage card, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the growing popularity of baseball in the late 19th century and the use of sports imagery for marketing.
