A woman in a headscarf smiles as she carries a heavy basket of apples, a harvest moment that fruit-label artists favored. Crate labels from the late 1800s and early 1900s often showed pickers, orchards and fruit in bright color, since the label had to catch a buyer's eye on a crowded shelf. Scenes like this tied the produce to rural labor and a sense of plenty. The cheerful mood also reflects how growers presented fruit as wholesome and familiar.
