"Polo," from the *Games and Sports series* (N165) is a chromolithograph card created by Goodwin & Company in 1889 for Old Judge Cigarettes. The card depicts a polo match in action, with a player on a white horse in the foreground, while another player in red and white is riding a brown horse in the background. The card also features a portrait of a man in a red and white striped jersey, framed in an ornate gold oval. This card is a quintessential example of 19th century chromolithographic card design and was produced for a popular brand of cigarettes at the time. *Games and Sports series* cards are highly collectible and sought-after by collectors and are held in many major museums.
