Here a gentleman in a bowler hat is the focal point of a cigar box label titled "Young Blood," a commercial lithograph type that was common in American tobacco packaging during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Cigar makers competed for shoppers' attention with bright color, sentimental or sporting figures, and catchy brand names, and labels like this one were often pasted onto box lids where they had to stand out on a crowded shelf. The bowler hat and dapper dress place the figure among the fashionable men of the era, a figure that advertisers used to suggest sophistication and good taste. Because the label was meant to be thrown away once the box was empty, surviving examples offer a useful glimpse of how tobacco was marketed to men.
