"F.L. Cushman" is a portrait card from the "Old Judge" series of trading cards produced by Goodwin & Company between 1887 and 1890, featuring a portrait of F.L. Cushman. These cards were given away with Old Judge Cigarettes and depicted various figures of the time. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY, holds the card, which is a small, 2 11/16 x 1 3/8 inch photograph. The portrait displays Cushman, who is wearing a collared shirt and a bow tie, looking directly at the viewer. This trading card offers a glimpse into the history of advertising and collecting from the late 19th century.
