McLaughlin, Jockey, from the Goodwin Champion series for Old Judge and Gypsy Queen Cigarettes 1888

This colorful chromolithograph from 1888 depicts McLaughlin, a jockey, in his riding attire. It is one of a series of cards created by Goodwin & Company for Old Judge and Gypsy Queen Cigarettes. The card features McLaughlin standing in a field with a whip in hand and a distant view of a rider on horseback. The image is framed by a border at the bottom and a smaller graphic of an eagle at the top. The card, measuring 2 5/8 x 1 1/2 in., is an example of advertising through trading cards, a popular practice in the late 19th century.
