This is a sepia-toned photograph of James Edward "Tip" O'Neill, a left fielder for the St. Louis Browns baseball team, from the *Old Judge* series of trading cards. Created by Goodwin & Company in 1889, the card shows O'Neill in a crouched position, likely fielding a ball. The photograph is part of a larger series of baseball cards produced for *Old Judge* cigarettes, a popular brand in the late 19th century. The card is a valuable piece of baseball history and is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.
