Three apples fill the foreground of this crate label, rendered in saturated reds and greens, while a small orchard stretches behind them under a pale sky. Crate labels like this one were pasted onto wooden shipping boxes so that buyers could tell at a glance where the fruit came from and what variety it was. Growers used bold, cheerful artwork to stand out on crowded shelves and in railway freight yards, and many of these labels are now prized as examples of early commercial lithography.
