This is a baseball card from the "Old Judge" series, featuring Michael Cornelius Dorgan, a right fielder for the New York baseball team. Printed by Goodwin & Company in 1887, the card depicts Dorgan in a classic baseball pose, standing with his legs bent, ready to field a ball. The image, printed in black and white, is characteristic of the style of baseball cards from this era. These collectible cards were given away free with packs of Old Judge Cigarettes, making them a popular promotional item for the brand.
