John A. "Jack" Farrell, 2nd Base, Washington Nationals, from the Old Judge series (N172) for Old Judge Cigarettes 1887

This is a black and white photograph from the *Old Judge* series of baseball trading cards produced by Goodwin & Company in 1887. It depicts John A. "Jack" Farrell, a second baseman for the Washington Nationals. The card features a close-up portrait of Farrell in his uniform, with his name and position printed at the bottom of the card along with the name of the company and the date. The series, made for Old Judge cigarettes, is a prime example of early baseball memorabilia. The Metropolitan Museum of Art owns this small-scale photograph, which is a testament to the popularity of baseball in the late 19th century.
