This black and white photograph, part of the *Old Judge* series of trading cards, depicts George Washington "Grin" Bradley, a third baseman for the Sioux City Corn Huskers in 1889. The card was produced by Goodwin & Company, a prominent manufacturer of baseball trading cards in the late 19th century, and is a prime example of *carte de visite* photography. The image captures Bradley in a relaxed, almost casual pose, offering a glimpse into the world of professional baseball in the late 19th century. The card's small size and simple design were typical of trading cards of this period.
