"Newfoundland," created by Goodwin & Company in 1890, is a chromolithograph depicting a Newfoundland dog. Part of the "Dogs of the World" series, the card was originally intended for use as a collectible for Old Judge Cigarettes. The card depicts the dog in profile, standing on all four legs and looking to the right. The dog is rendered in a realistic style with detailed fur and a textured background. The artwork, measuring only 3.8 x 7.1 cm., is a prime example of the type of collectible trading card that gained popularity in the late 19th century. It is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
