"Hare and Hounds," created by Goodwin & Company in 1889, is a chromolithograph from the *Games and Sports* series for Old Judge Cigarettes. The card depicts a woman in a red cap and a pink dress against a decorative background, while a man and a boy jump over a fence in the background, engaging in the traditional English sport of Hare and Hounds. This card, measuring 3.8 x 7 cm, is a delightful example of late 19th-century trade cards, showcasing both sporting activities and decorative aesthetics. It is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
