This 1888 lithograph by Goodwin & Company, part of their "Goodwin Champion" series for Old Judge and Gypsy Queen Cigarettes, features a portrait of Beekman, a lawn tennis player. The card, in the typical style of trading cards, is a depiction of Beekman in his sporting attire, holding a tennis racket, standing on a green lawn tennis court. It provides a glimpse into the popular sport of lawn tennis during the late 19th century. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York houses this piece.
