Printed to dress a cigar box, *The Pony* pairs its name with a horse, a combination that suggested speed and spirit to a buyer scanning a crowded tobacco counter. Labels like this were usually color lithographs, made by commercial printers in large runs, and makers often chose animals, sporting scenes and bold lettering because they read clearly at a glance. Look closely at the horse's outline and shading to see how the printer built up color in several passes, a standard method of the period.
