This chromolithograph, "Lawn Tennis," is part of the "Games and Sports" series produced by Goodwin & Company for Old Judge Cigarettes in 1889. The artwork depicts a lively scene on a tennis court with players in period attire. The image features a woman in a red beret and checkered blouse as the central figure, with a tennis match in progress in the background. This collectible card, measuring 1 1/2 x 2 3/4 inches, is a charming glimpse into the popular sporting pastime of the late 19th century.
