Printed for a cigar box, this label bears the name "Prize-Winners" and shows hunting dogs in pursuit of hares, a scene that would have made it stand out on a crowded tobacconist's shelf. Cigar makers in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries commissioned colorful lithographed labels like this one to sell their brands, and sporting subjects such as dogs, game and the outdoors were popular choices. Today these small labels are valued by collectors as examples of commercial printing, and they also record how dogs were portrayed in everyday popular art.
