This is a baseball card from the T206 series, produced by the American Tobacco Company between 1909 and 1911. The card features a portrait of baseball player "Graham" of the St. Louis Browns, an American League team, in his baseball uniform with a green field and distant stands in the background. The card, part of a larger set of baseball cards, is an example of the early 20th-century trading card, capturing the enthusiasm for the sport. The simple yet effective design emphasizes the player's image and reflects the artistic style of the time. This particular card is now part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
