Two hunting dogs stand at the center of this cigar label, with a hare and a pair of crossed shotguns placed beside them to signal the sport of the field. Labels like this one were printed in large numbers in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when tobacco makers used lithographed images of dogs, game, and outdoor scenes to make their brands memorable to men who shared those pastimes. Because the design ties a sporting dog to the gun and the kill, it reflects how closely bird and hare hunting was associated with gentlemanly leisure in that era. Look closely at the fine line work and the color layering, which show the care lithographers gave to small commercial pieces like this.
