Lamb Brand apples were packed in crates bearing a label that paired a grazing lamb with a spray of apples, a pairing meant to suggest wholesome, pastoral produce. Crate labels like this one were printed in bold color lithography so they could catch a buyer's eye on crowded docks and in grocers' stacks. Labels of this kind were a major part of orchard marketing in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when growers shipped fruit by rail to distant cities and used brand names to build trust in a product the buyer could not inspect beforehand.
