Pie is an unusual subject for a board devoted to apple crate labels, and this picture stands apart from the rest for that reason. A slice has been cut from a pie baked in a clear glass dish, so the filling and crust are visible from the side. The image is filed under categories meant for book illustration, which suggests it was chosen to accompany recipes or writing about home baking. Early twentieth-century cookbooks often relied on pictures like this to show readers what a finished dessert should look like.
