Among the holiday food ephemera in this collection, this piece stands out for its bold, brightly colored can label promoting Velvet Rose pumpkin. Labels like this were printed to catch the eye on crowded grocery shelves, and by the early twentieth century canned pumpkin had become a staple for home bakers preparing pies for Thanksgiving. Packaging of this kind reflects how American food companies used lithographed color and simple slogans to make everyday ingredients feel festive and dependable, and it offers a glimpse of the seasonal baking habits that grew up around the holiday.
