"Burnham, Manager, Indianapolis" is a trade card from the *Old Judge* series, created by Goodwin & Company in 1887. The card features a bust-length portrait of an unidentified man in a suit and a hat, likely a manager for the Indianapolis baseball team. These cards were included in packs of Old Judge Cigarettes and were highly sought after by collectors. The image uses a sepia tone and demonstrates the typical photographic style of the late 19th century.
