Hugh Nicol, St. Louis Browns, from the Old Judge series (N172) for Old Judge Cigarettes 1886

This is a baseball card from the *Old Judge* series produced by Goodwin & Company in 1886 for the *Old Judge* brand of cigarettes. It features a portrait of Hugh Nicholl, a player for the St. Louis Browns, who were champions in 1886. The card is a classic example of early baseball card art, using a simple monochrome photographic portrait and a bold graphic style. The card is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.
