Two pointer dogs hold a point on the face of this cigar label, the detail that sets it apart from the many dog pictures on the board. Tobacco companies of the late 1800s and early 1900s printed colorful labels like this one to catch the eye of buyers at the counter, and sporting scenes of hunting dogs were a popular choice because they suggested fine taste and outdoor leisure. Labels such as this were often lithographed in several colors and are now valued as small pieces of commercial art, with their animals drawn to show the breed's classic stance.
