Its printed motto, "Memory, Never Forgotten," sits beside a seated gentleman, a pairing that sets this label apart from the many portrait-style cigar box labels in the collection. Lithographed labels like this were pasted onto wooden cigar boxes in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when tobacco makers used sentimental images and phrases to make their boxes stand out on shop counters. Sentiments about remembrance were common in Victorian and Edwardian print, so the phrase may have appealed to buyers as much as the portrait did.
