"Murphy, Shortstop, New York" is a 1895 baseball card from the *Mayo's Cut Plug Baseball series* by P.H. Mayo & Brother. The sepia-toned card features a portrait of the player in his New York uniform. This type of card, produced in the late 19th century, is known as a "trade card" as it was given away with tobacco products, and it was a popular form of advertising. It is now part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
