This is a baseball card from the *Old Judge* series, featuring Henry Carl "Hank" Gastright, a pitcher for the Columbus team. The card was created by Goodwin & Company, a New York-based company, in 1889, and is part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This type of trading card, with a small portrait of a baseball player, was common at the time and used to promote the Old Judge brand of cigarettes. The image, printed in black and white, features Gastright standing with his right arm outstretched, presumably in a pitching pose. The card's dimensions are small, making it a collectible item for baseball fans and card collectors alike.
