"George B. Treadway, Left Field, Denver" is a black and white photograph of a baseball player holding a bat. This card is from a series produced by Goodwin & Company for Old Judge cigarettes in 1889. It features the baseball player in a classic pose, holding a bat, wearing a uniform and cap. This card is a fine example of sports-related ephemera and is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY. The card itself measures 2 11/16 x 1 3/8 inches. These cards are of particular interest to collectors of baseball cards, as they are some of the earliest baseball cards ever produced.
