This is a baseball card from the “Old Judge” series, produced in 1888 by Goodwin & Company to promote Old Judge Cigarettes. The card features William E. "Will" Fuller, catcher for the Milwaukee Brewers. The card, printed in black and white, shows Fuller in his uniform and holding his glove. This type of card is known as a "trade card," and is a prime example of the evolution of baseball memorabilia in the late 19th century.
