Starting in the 1880s, the Transcontinental Railroad made coast-to-coast shipping of fruits and vegetables possible. As as a result, the commercial art and printing industries developed a form of advertising art known today as fruit crate labels or simply crate labels. These vibrant and highly collectible pieces of American advertising art were created from a wide range of iconographic images in order to entice the public to buy the produce. This form of advertising art was then pasted onto the ends of crates and became known as fruit crate art. If you enjoy collecting antique art or prized lithography prints, you will absolutely love these original fruit crate labels!
