Radford, Right Field, Brooklyn Bridegrooms, from the Old Judge series (N172) for Old Judge Cigarettes 1888

This is a baseball card from the "Old Judge" series of trading cards, produced in 1888 by Goodwin & Company. The card features a black and white photograph of professional baseball player, "Radford," who played right field for the Brooklyn Bridegrooms, a team that later became the Brooklyn Dodgers. These cards were included in packs of Old Judge cigarettes and were some of the first baseball trading cards to be produced. The cards feature a simple, yet striking design with the player's name, position, and team clearly displayed. This specific card is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.
