"Wilmot, Left Field, Chicago," is a sepia-toned baseball card created by Goodwin & Company in 1889 as part of the "Old Judge" series for Old Judge Cigarettes. This card depicts a baseball player, Wilmot, in his uniform and holding a bat, standing against a blurry background. The image is a testament to the burgeoning popularity of baseball in the late 19th century and the growing use of trading cards as a form of advertising. The card is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City and is a classic example of baseball ephemera.
