This 1888 lithograph, "Dwight, Lawn Tennis," is part of the Goodwin Champion series for Old Judge and Gypsy Queen Cigarettes. Created by Goodwin & Company, it showcases a portrait of Dwight, a prominent figure in the sport of lawn tennis. The card depicts Dwight with a tennis racket, while a pink ribbon with the word "LAWN TENNIS" adorns the background. The image is a testament to the popularity of lawn tennis in late 19th-century America. These trading cards were a common form of advertising, and they are now valuable collector's items. The card is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
