A small farm girl stands in a field of white daisies, a wide-brimmed hat on her head, looking out with the unconcerned ease of a child who has nowhere else to be. Two large, vivid red apples are centered in the composition, ringed by more daisies. A large-format label, generous and open, designed to be seen.

Frame it as kitchen decor, vintage American illustration, or 1920s childhood nostalgia — it works in a kitchen, a child's room, a breakfast room, or anywhere that welcomes warmth and a genuine sense of delight. A wonderful gift for a vintage illustration enthusiast, a daisy lover, or a kitchen decor collector.

Packed for The Herrman Company of Paterson, New Jersey, this label survives from the estate of longtime East Coast ephemera dealer Zane Shaffer. Original lithographic can labels from this era are far scarcer than crate labels — produced in smaller quantities, more fragile, and less often preserved. NOS examples like this one represent the finest of what survives from American food industry history.
