Among the many apple crate labels on this board, this one stands out for its kite illustration, a bright, airborne motif that sets the Kyte Brand apart from the orchard scenes and portraits more common to the genre. Fruit crate labels like this were printed in large runs in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when growers shipped barrels and boxes by rail to distant city markets. Brand names and eye-catching artwork helped a grower's fruit stand out on crowded grocery shelves, so a label like this one was both a shipping tag and a small piece of advertising.
