"Walter Robert "Walt" Wilmot, Left Field, Washington Nationals," is a 1888 baseball card from the "Old Judge" series, featuring Washington Nationals player Walter Robert "Walt" Wilmot. The card depicts a full-body portrait of Wilmot in a baseball uniform, standing on what appears to be a baseball field. The card was printed by Goodwin & Company and is considered to be an early example of the popular baseball card, which would become a staple of American culture.
