A crate label for Mischief Brand Sweet Corn puts a commercial product front and center, the kind of paper wrapper that once told grocers and shoppers where a load of produce came from. Crate labels like this were printed in large runs and pasted onto wooden crates shipped from growing regions to city markets, so they combine lithographed artwork with a practical job of selling the goods. Filed under Thanksgiving recipes and foods, the label reminds us that sweet corn was a fixture of the autumn harvest table, and that the packaging meant to catch a buyer's eye was often as carefully designed as the food inside.
