Conway, Pitcher, Indianapolis, from the Old Judge series (N172) for Old Judge Cigarettes 1889

This is a baseball card from the "Old Judge" series of trading cards, produced in 1889 by Goodwin & Company to be included in packages of Old Judge cigarettes. The card features Conway, a pitcher for the Indianapolis baseball team. The card, a black and white photograph, depicts Conway in full baseball uniform, in a throwing pose, standing against a plain background. The card is a good example of early American baseball trading cards, which were popular collectibles in the late 19th century. These cards helped to fuel the growing popularity of baseball, and their simple designs are still admired today.
