The horse's head fills the center of this cigar label for The Harvester, a brand name that points toward farm work and the machines and animals that worked the fields. Cigar labels like this were printed in color by lithography and pasted onto boxes and bundles to catch the eye of buyers at tobacco shops. Makers often chose animals, rural scenes, and other images that suggested strength and dependability, and many people later saved the labels as small, colorful records of advertising art from the late 1800s and early 1900s.
