This is a black and white photograph of a baseball player, William Benjamin "Shorty" Fuller, who played shortstop for the St. Louis Browns. The image, from the *Old Judge* series of trading cards, was created in 1889 by Goodwin & Company, a New York-based company that produced tobacco cards. The photograph shows Fuller in a playing stance, wearing a baseball uniform with a cap that reads "St. Louis," and his name is written at the bottom of the card along with the Old Judge logo.
