Green apples with their stems still attached sit against a dark ground, the kind of plain, close study that once served as reference or decoration in fruit-and-vegetable label design. Crate labels like these flourished in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when orchards in growing regions shipped fruit across the country and printers produced bright, eye-catching art to sell it. Pictures of individual apples were often drawn or photographed with care so that buyers could recognize the variety at a glance. Green apples in particular signaled a tart, firm fruit prized for cooking and keeping through winter.
