This chromolithograph card, part of the "World's Champions" series by Allen & Ginter, features Duncan C. Ross, an all-around athlete, in 1888. Ross is depicted shirtless with his arms crossed, highlighting his muscular physique. The card also showcases athletic equipment, like a hammer and a pair of dumbbells, and a decorative backdrop featuring an ornate vase and curtains. The card was likely distributed as part of a larger series, similar to modern-day trading cards.
