Sugar corn, a sweet variety, is the subject here, shown as a single ear on a crate label from the Olney & Floyd firm. Labels like this were lithographed in bright color and pasted onto wooden shipping crates so that buyers at produce markets could spot a brand at a glance. Many such labels also reflected the era's fondness for cheerful, idealized scenes of farm life, which is part of why they are now collected as graphic design. Their connection to a holiday table like Thanksgiving comes through the produce itself, since corn was a staple of autumn harvest meals.
