Few crate labels from the early twentieth century combined fruit and national symbolism as openly as this one, which pairs a dehydrated apple product with an equestrian portrait of George Washington. Dried apples were a common wartime and export commodity, and brands often borrowed the names and faces of national heroes to signal quality and patriotism to buyers. The label's imagery of Washington on horseback draws on the long tradition of equestrian portraiture that made him the model of the mounted commander. Collectors of fruit crate art prize such labels as a window onto how producers marketed food through patriotic images.
