Three puppies tumble across a cigar label from the Tripoli brand, the kind of printed paper wrapper that cigar makers pasted onto boxes and bundles in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Labels like this were tiny advertisements, and manufacturers often used cute animals, children and sporting scenes to catch the eye of buyers in crowded tobacco shops. Puppies were a favorite motif because they seemed friendly and harmless, which helped a brand feel approachable. Look closely at the lithographed color and the ornate border, which show how much care went into small commercial prints of the era.
