Gilmore, Pitcher, from the series Old Judge Cigarettes 1888

"Gilmore, Pitcher" is a cabinet card photograph from the "Old Judge Cigarettes" series, created by Goodwin & Company in 1888. The photo features a baseball player, Gilmore, dressed in his uniform, holding a baseball bat. The backdrop is a painted scene of a field with a fence, typical of the style used for these types of cards. This photograph is a prime example of the genre of "trade cards," often used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to advertise products, like cigarettes in this case. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York holds this card in their collection.
