La Pecan is the brand name printed on this cigar label, which shows a man reclining in a chair with a cigar in hand. Labels like this were pasted onto cigar boxes and bundles in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when tobacco makers competed for buyers with bright color lithography. The relaxed, comfortable pose was a common selling image, presenting smoking as a mark of leisure and masculine ease. Its layout also shows how brand names and pictures were used together to build recognition on a crowded shelf.
