This chromolithograph, created by Goodwin & Company in 1888, is part of a series of trading cards produced for Old Judge and Gypsy Queen cigarettes. The card features a portrait of Taylor, a lawn tennis player, depicted in a striped shirt and cap, with two tennis rackets and a pink ribbon adorning the top of the card. This collectible card, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the popularity of the sport during the late 19th century.
