This colorful lithograph from 1888, titled "Out," was part of the "Talk of the Diamond" series of baseball-themed trading cards issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co., a subsidiary of the American Tobacco Company. The card depicts a humorous scene of a baseball game with a player being called "out" and the umpire standing behind a fence. The card's vibrant colors, playful subject matter, and iconic imagery capture the spirit of baseball during the late 19th century. It's a valuable glimpse into the history of the sport and the popular culture of the era. The card is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.
