A horsewoman riding out with a hunt gives this cigar label its central image, and the brand name, Sporty Duchess, signals the sporting, slightly playful tone the artist was after. Cigar labels like this were color-printed by lithography and pasted onto the lids and sides of boxes, so makers used bold, eye-catching scenes to draw a buyer's eye at the shop counter. Fashionable riding and fox hunting were popular subjects in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and pictures of well-dressed women on horseback appealed to a wide public. Today the label is a small, everyday printed object, but it preserves a clear record of how leisure and sport were marketed at the time.
