Lead with the particular: a crate label for Kikuchi Brand Sebastopol apples. Sebastopol refers to the Sonoma County town in California, a major apple-growing area in the early twentieth century, and Japanese-American growers there were significant producers. The label belongs to the era of wooden crates and lithographed packing labels, when a brand name and a bright illustration helped a grower's fruit stand out at auction and in city markets. Worth noticing are the typography and color printing, which show how commercial art was used to sell produce.
