"Radford, R.F. Brooklyns" is a sepia-toned photograph from the "Old Judge" series of baseball trading cards produced by Goodwin & Company in 1888. This card depicts a Brooklyn Bridegrooms player named Radford, in a catching pose, right field position, as he attempts to field a ball against a cloudy backdrop. The card's small size, typical of baseball trading cards of the era, highlights the detail of Radford's action, showcasing the popular sport of baseball in the 19th century. The card is now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
