Slattery, Left Field, New York, from the series Old Judge Cigarettes 1888

"Slattery, Left Field, New York," is a black and white photograph from the series *Old Judge Cigarettes* created by Goodwin & Company in 1888. This collectible card features a baseball player in uniform, posed against a painted backdrop of a grassy field. The player's hands are clasped together in a prayer-like position, while his gaze is fixed on a ball flying in the air above him, creating a sense of action and anticipation. The card is a classic example of the use of photography to promote the sale of consumer products in the late 19th century.
