A woman on a brown horse is the central figure of this cigar label for Elsedor, a small printed paper piece meant to be pasted onto a cigar box or bundle wrapper. Labels like this were usually made by commercial lithographers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when bright color printing was new and brands competed for attention on crowded tobacco shelves. Riding scenes were a popular choice because they suggested leisure, elegance, and outdoor pleasure. Today such labels are valued as small examples of advertising art and everyday popular design.
