"Murray, Washington" is a cabinet card photograph from 1888 by Goodwin & Company. It features a young man, likely a baseball player, posing in a studio setting with a painted backdrop of a rural landscape. The card was created as part of the "Old Judge Cigarettes" series, a collection of baseball player portraits that were given away with the brand's tobacco products. This series was highly popular, becoming a major influence on the development of trading cards, and is today a highly sought-after collection for sports memorabilia enthusiasts.
