This black and white photograph, part of the *Old Judge Cigarettes* series by Goodwin & Company, captures a moment in the history of baseball. Featuring a baseball player in uniform, identified as A. Latham, 3rd Base, St. Louis Browns, the image captures the 19th-century sport with a sense of realism. The player, holding his bat at his side, stands in a relaxed pose against a blurred backdrop, possibly a baseball field, emphasizing the informality of the game.
