Henry, Pitcher, Philadelphia, from the Old Judge series (N172) for Old Judge Cigarettes 1888

This black and white photograph is a baseball card from the "Old Judge" series by Goodwin & Company. It features a player in a baseball uniform holding a bat and is titled "Henry, Pitcher, Philadelphia." It was created in 1888 and is part of a series of cards that were given away with Old Judge Cigarettes. Today it is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection in New York, NY. This card is an excellent example of early baseball memorabilia and provides a glimpse into the history of the sport.
