Ad Gumbert, Pitcher, Chicago, from the series Old Judge Cigarettes 1889

This 1889 cabinet card, "Ad Gumbert, Pitcher, Chicago," from the "Old Judge Cigarettes" series, is a portrait of the baseball pitcher Ad Gumbert in his Chicago uniform. The image, created by Goodwin & Company, captures Gumbert mid-pitch, a dynamic pose that reflects the energy and excitement of the game. The card is a prime example of the "baseball card" genre, which emerged in the late 19th century and became a popular form of collectible memorabilia.
