The label's brand name, Prize Winner, suggests a cigar sold on the promise of quality and achievement, and the printed scene of a woman riding a horse adds an image of grace and leisure. Labels like this were colorful lithographs pasted onto cigar boxes and cigar bands in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when tobacco makers competed for shoppers' attention. Designers often drew on popular themes such as horses, sport, and fashionable women, so the design reflects the tastes of its era. Its small scale and bright printing make it a useful record of commercial art from that period.
