A cigar box label that shows a dog standing beside a small doghouse is a quirky find in a collection of dog pictures, since the dog is a secondary part of a commercial design rather than the star of a portrait. "Dandy" in the title suggests the brand was marketed with a playful, fashionable air, a common tone for tobacco labels of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Such labels were printed in bright chromolithography to catch the eye of shoppers at tobacco counters, and animals appeared often because they made a friendly, memorable image. Look closely at how the lettering, border and illustration work together as a small advertisement.
