This 1888 lithograph by Goodwin & Company is a collectible baseball card from the *Old Judge* series, showcasing Philadelphia pitcher Dan Casey. Part of a set of cards issued by the Old Judge Cigarette company, these cards were given away with purchases. The image captures Casey in a classic baseball uniform, standing with a relaxed pose and holding a baseball glove. These cards, which are now considered valuable historical artifacts, were a popular way for fans to follow the game of baseball during the late 19th century. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this small-scale artwork, measuring just 6.9 x 3.5 cm.
