Tener, Pitcher, Chicago, from the Old Judge series (N172) for Old Judge Cigarettes 1889

This black and white photograph, titled "Tener, Pitcher, Chicago, from the Old Judge series (N172) for Old Judge Cigarettes", was created in 1889 by Goodwin & Company and is a part of the "Old Judge" series of baseball trading cards. Featuring Chicago baseball player "Tener" in a pitching pose, the card is a classic example of 19th-century sports photography. The card's simple design and focus on the athlete's form make it a significant piece of American sports history. The image, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, provides a glimpse into the early days of professional baseball.
