This 1887 baseball card features Roger Connor, a famous player for the New York Giants, and is part of the "Old Judge" series by Goodwin & Company. These cards were distributed with Old Judge Cigarettes, a popular brand at the time, and featured portraits of prominent baseball players. The image shows Connor in a classic baseball pose, standing with his hands on his knees. This card is an example of early American baseball memorabilia and is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The design of the card, with its simple portrait and clear typography, is indicative of the late 19th century.
