Original Fruit Crate Labels
Vintage Fruit and Vegetable Crate Labels combine
rich color and bold graphic design. Beginning in the late 1800's
produce was shipped in wooden crates decorated with colorful lithographs. They were the pinnacle of commercial art: exorbitantly
luscious point-of-purchase advertising in an age devoid of other color
advertising media. The history of label art reflects the evolution
of American values, politics, aesthetics and technology.
