Cigar makers pasted colorful lithographed labels like this one to the lids of their wooden boxes, and they were built to catch a buyer's eye at the tobacco counter. The brand name, Prize Winner, paired with a horse and rider, suggests the maker wanted to link the cigar with victory and sporting pride. Horse scenes were popular on printed goods of the late 1800s and early 1900s, when racing and riding drew wide public interest and color printing had become cheap enough for mass advertising. Such labels are now valued as small examples of commercial art from that period.
