A cigar label with a gentleman as its central figure is the particular feature of this piece, which carries the title "Good Smoke," a phrase printed to sell the tobacco inside the box. Labels like this were pasted onto cigar boxes in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when manufacturers competed for shelf space with bright chromolithographed artwork. Images of well-dressed men were a common device, suggesting that a fine cigar was the mark of a gentleman. The label's placement on this gallery board, which still awaits reclassification, reflects how such commercial ephemera often fall between categories of family life and trade printing.
