This is a baseball card from the T206 series, produced by the American Tobacco Company between 1909 and 1911. It depicts a baseball player, Frill, who played for the New York American League team. The card is a portrait of the player in uniform, positioned against a partially visible background of a baseball field. The use of color and the realistic portrayal of the player are typical of the T206 series, which became one of the most famous and collected sets of baseball cards in history.
