Henry, Pitcher, Philadelphia, from the series Old Judge Cigarettes 1888

"Henry, Pitcher, Philadelphia" is a black and white photograph from the "Old Judge Cigarettes" series, created by Goodwin & Company in 1888. The photo shows a baseball player in mid-pitch, capturing the dynamic action of the game. The photograph's composition, which places the player in the foreground with a blurred background, emphasizes the subject's movement and creates a sense of depth. These early baseball cards were distributed with cigarette packs, reflecting the popularity of baseball and tobacco culture in the late 19th century.
