Seward, Pitcher, Philadelphia Athletics, from the Old Judge series (N172) for Old Judge Cigarettes 1899

This 1899 baseball card from the "Old Judge" series features Philadelphia Athletics pitcher, Seward. Created by Goodwin & Company, the card depicts Seward in a classic baseball pose, holding a ball in his right hand. The card's simple composition and sepia tone capture the spirit of the era's baseball culture, making it a fascinating artifact for fans of both baseball and the history of sports card collecting. The card, part of a larger set produced to promote Old Judge cigarettes, is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.
