Clark, Catcher, Brooklyn, from the Old Judge series (N172) for Old Judge Cigarettes 1889

This 1889 baseball card, part of the "Old Judge" series by Goodwin & Company, features Clark C. of the Brooklyn baseball team. The card is a black and white photograph featuring the player in his baseball uniform. This series of trading cards was produced by Goodwin & Company, a New York-based lithographic firm, and the card’s small size and detailed imagery is characteristic of the late 19th century "trade card" genre.
