This 1888 trading card from the *Old Judge* series features Baltimore Orioles player, Cunningham. The card was printed by Goodwin & Company, a New York-based company that was known for producing numerous sets of baseball trading cards during the late 19th century. The image is a simple sepia-toned photograph, with the player depicted in a baseball uniform, holding a bat, against a plain background. This card, like others in the series, was intended to be a collectible for fans of the popular sport, especially those who enjoyed Old Judge cigarettes.
