Sidney Douglas Farrar, 1st Base, Philadelphia, from the Old Judge series (N172) for Old Judge Cigarettes 1888

This chromolithograph from the *Old Judge* series of baseball cards, produced by Goodwin & Company in 1888, features Sidney Douglas Farrar, a first baseman for the Philadelphia Phillies. The card depicts Farrar in a simple baseball uniform, standing against a plain background. The image is in a portrait format, with Farrar looking directly at the viewer. This card, like many in the *Old Judge* series, was included in a pack of Old Judge cigarettes, helping to popularize the sport of baseball and the famous players of the late 19th century. The image is a valuable artifact for fans of baseball history and is an example of the use of lithographic printing for advertising and entertainment.
