This is a baseball card from the T206 series, produced by the American Tobacco Company between 1909 and 1911. The card features a portrait of "La Porte" in a New York uniform, holding a baseball in his glove. The image is reminiscent of the style of early 20th-century advertising, with a simple background and bold graphic elements. This card is part of the "White Border" series, which was a subset of the T206 set featuring a white border surrounding the image. The card is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
