Few pictures on the board show a food label as its main subject, and this color lithograph is titled *Green Peas*, with the Baltimore firm Frank Albert & Co. credited as its maker. The catalog tags it as a food label, which suggests it was printed to decorate packaged produce rather than to stand alone as art. Baltimore was an important center of American canning in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and eye-catching lithographed labels helped canned vegetables stand out on crowded grocery shelves. The record gives no date, so the design is best placed by its printing style and the commercial practices of its time.
