"D.D. Withers", from the *Racing Colors of the World* series, is a 1888 chromolithograph trading card featuring a portrait of D.D. Withers in jockey attire. The card, produced by Allen & Ginter for their cigarette brand, exemplifies the popularity of sports and collectibles in the late 19th century. The simple composition, with the jockey holding the reins against a neutral background, emphasizes the subject’s attire and the subtle details of their expression. This type of card is known as a *trade card* and was often used in the late 19th century for advertising and marketing purposes.
