"Conway, Pitcher, Boston," is a card from the "Old Judge" series of baseball cards created by Goodwin & Company in 1887. It depicts a player in a baseball uniform holding a bat in a batting stance. The card is a prime example of the "carte de visite" style, popular in the 19th century. The image, printed on a small card, showcases the player in a formal pose. This card, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, is a valuable artifact for baseball history and collectible card enthusiasts.
