Peter Pan is the name that sets this crate label apart: it shows a girl beside a heap of red apples, with the brand name printed in bold letters across the top. Fruit crate labels like this one were a staple of American orchard marketing in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when growers shipped apples by rail to city markets and needed eye-catching art to stand out on crowded grocers' shelves. Brands often paired a pretty child or a storybook figure with the fruit to suggest wholesomeness and to appeal to families. Labels were usually printed in color by commercial lithographers, so the bright reds and greens you see here reflect the printing trade as much as the orchard.
