A cigar label, not a photograph, so the lithographed image of a brown and white pointer dog is the first thing to notice. The "AT-A-BOY" name was a common brand title for cigars in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when tobacco makers printed bright paper labels to catch the eye of shoppers at tobacco counters and in cigar boxes. Dogs such as pointers, bred for hunting birds, were popular subjects on these labels because they suggested sport, loyalty and good cheer. Labels like this one were collected for their color printing, and many survive today as small examples of commercial lithography.
