Kenyon, Catcher, St. Louis Whites, from the Old Judge series (N172) for Old Judge Cigarettes 1888

This 1888 baseball card depicts Kenyon, a catcher for the St. Louis Whites, from the "Old Judge" series by Goodwin & Company. The image is a simple photograph of Kenyon in a crouching position, wearing his catcher's gear and uniform, with the words "St. Louis" visible on his chest. This is a prime example of the "baseball card" genre, popular in the late 19th century, and a fascinating example of early sporting imagery.
