Charles Wood, Jockey, from the Goodwin Champion series for Old Judge and Gypsy Queen Cigarettes 1888

This 1888 chromolithograph, part of the Goodwin Champion series for Old Judge and Gypsy Queen Cigarettes, features Charles Wood, a jockey, in a close-up portrait. The artwork depicts Wood wearing a pink cap, a yellow jacket, and a burgundy cravat, with the British Union Jack prominently displayed in the background. The image is a striking example of late 19th-century commercial art, utilizing a combination of detailed portraiture and vibrant color to promote the cigarette brands. The small size of the card, 2 5/8 x 1 1/2 inches, reflects its intended function as a collectible trading card. This piece is currently held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
