This black and white photograph, from the *Old Judge* series, features Emery J. "Moxie" Hengel, a second baseman for the Minneapolis baseball team. Created by Goodwin & Company in 1888, the image is part of a set of baseball trading cards that were given away with packs of Old Judge cigarettes. The card features a portrait of Hengel in his baseball uniform, holding a bat and standing in a relaxed pose. The card showcases a classic example of 19th-century portraiture and is an important piece of baseball history.
