"High Jumping" is a chromolithograph from the *Games and Sports* series of trade cards produced by Goodwin & Company in 1889 to advertise Old Judge Cigarettes. The card depicts a male athlete performing a high jump, with two onlookers in the background. The image is bordered by a decorative frame and includes a portrait of a woman in a green and white striped dress. These cards were widely distributed and collected in the late 19th century, making them a popular form of advertising. This particular card can be viewed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
