Hatfield, 3rd Base, New York, from the series Old Judge Cigarettes 1888

This cabinet card photograph, part of the "Old Judge Cigarettes" series by Goodwin & Company, features the New York baseball player "Hatfield, 3rd Base." Produced in 1888, this card is a prime example of the early collectible trading cards that were given away with products. The player is portrayed in a studio setting with a painted backdrop of a field and a baseball being thrown in the air, capturing the excitement of the sport in a more formal portrait style. The card is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
