Shuttlecock, from the Games and Sports series (N165) for Old Judge Cigarettes 1889

"Shuttlecock," a chromolithograph from the "Games and Sports" series, was created by Goodwin & Company in 1889. This colorful card depicts a woman in a striped dress playing badminton with a man in a striped shirt while a woman in a striped dress and blue beret observes. This card was originally intended as a trade card for Old Judge cigarettes, making it a prime example of advertising ephemera. The card is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection of American art and design.
