Unlike most of the labels on this board, this one advertises Bartlett pears rather than apples. The Bartlett, prized for its juicy flesh and sweet flavor, was among the most widely grown pears in the American West. The "Big City" brand and the Placerville origin point to El Dorado County in the Sierra foothills, where former gold-rush communities turned to orchards and packing houses. Crate labels like this were colorful lithographs meant to catch a buyer's eye at wholesale markets and on store shelves.
