This is a baseball card from the *Old Judge* series, created by Goodwin & Company in 1888, featuring Warren William "Hick" Carpenter, a third baseman for the Cincinnati Reds. The card is a black and white photograph of Carpenter, depicted in a baseball uniform, holding a ball in his glove. The image captures Carpenter in mid-action, as he prepares to field a ball, highlighting the dynamic nature of the sport.
