This is a chromolithograph trading card from the "Goodwin Champion" series for "Old Judge & Gypsy Queen Cigarettes," created by Goodwin & Company in 1888. The card features a detailed depiction of a muscular oarsman rowing in a single scull, highlighting the athleticism and vigor of the sport. The card's vibrant colors and realistic details, typical of the chromolithographic printing process, capture the energy and movement of the scene. This card, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, is a testament to the popularity of sports-themed trading cards in the late 19th century.
