"Michael Cornelius Dorgan, Right Field, New York, from the Old Judge series (N172) for Old Judge Cigarettes" is a 1887 trading card depicting baseball player Michael Dorgan. Created by Goodwin & Company, the card showcases Dorgan in a posed stance, leaning against a tree. The card is a prime example of 19th-century baseball card collecting, a popular pastime during the "Golden Age" of baseball. The image is in the style of a cabinet card, a type of photographic print popular in the late 19th century, further adding to the artwork's historical significance. This card, along with the other cards in the Old Judge series, are now highly sought-after by collectors.
