"Sunday, Center Field, Pittsburgh" is a cabinet card from the "Old Judge Cigarettes" series, created in 1887 by Goodwin & Company. The black and white photograph depicts a baseball player, Sunday, in a field with a cityscape in the background. This card is a great example of the growing popularity of baseball in the late 19th century and the use of trading cards to promote products. The card is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York.
