About this photograph

This albumen print shows Art Whitney of the New York Giants, produced by Goodwin & Co. in 1888 as a baseball card portrait. The photograph is mounted on a cabinet card.

Beyond these bare facts, little is recorded. The archive provides no detail about Whitney's playing career, his position, or the circumstances of the portrait sitting. Nothing is known from this record about Goodwin & Co.'s operations or why they produced baseball card portraits. The image survives as a documentary artifact from early professional baseball, but the historical particulars remain unrecorded.

Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
