"Ryan, Right Field, Chicago" is a black and white photograph from the *Old Judge* series of baseball cards by Goodwin & Company. Depicting a baseball player in mid-catch, this card was printed in 1887 as part of a promotional campaign for Old Judge Cigarettes. The image captures the player's dynamic pose, showcasing the action and skill of the sport. This card, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a quintessential example of 19th-century baseball card design and serves as a historical artifact of the sport's early development.
