Three boys stand in a row across the front of this crate label, the kind of artwork that once sold apples from orchards to buyers in distant markets. Crate labels were printed in bright colors and bold lettering to catch the eye on a crowded grocer's shelf, and many of them, like this one, leaned on sentimental scenes of childhood to make a plain box of fruit feel wholesome. Repeating the figures across the design gave the label a rhythmic, almost patterned look. Labels of this kind were produced in large runs by commercial lithographers and were usually discarded once the crate was emptied, which makes surviving examples a useful record of early fruit marketing.
