Very Rare Patriotic Antique Vintage American Protectorate Embossed Cigar Label, James Monroe Doctrine, 1900s - 1910s

9" x 6 1/2" ~

This is the rare older label of this already rare label. When they redid the label they didn't do James Monroe any justice IMO and I would have to think he would have preferred they stay with this image.

This label has some minor edge wear but for this label and how rare it is in amazing shape. You would never see it in a frame. The occasional ones I have seen come up for sale are really beat up.

James Monroe and the Monroe Doctrine he delivered on December 2nd, 1823 shaped the course of American policy in the Western Hemisphere until the present day.

Amazing Gold embossed label. Most companies at the time used real gold flakes in the embossing.

Imagine hanging this over 100-year-old patriotic antique advertising on your wall as home decor in any room!

Cigar labels show you what vintage advertising is all about with the wonderful graphics that Lithography provided that modern printing just can't reproduce. This was a lost art after the 1920s unfortunately.

My pictures seriously don't do it justice. These had to be done on heavy paper stock which makes them stay vibrant and new looking for a long time.

This item has reached full antique status.

Most of these artists were very good but desperate for work during that era and got paid very little and received no recognition for their work. Unfortunately, the majority of these artists will remain unknown but we can keep their art alive forever.
