Antique Alcazar Embossed Cigar Label, Horse Racing, Race Horse  1900s - 1920s
8 1/2" x 6 1/2" ~
Beautiful horse racing memorabilia.
This Champion Racehorse doesn't have a lot of info left about it. I found the genealogy but not the race history besides what is printed. A lot of horses came from this line. I am trying to talk myself into researching less so I can get more accomplished but I am so curious about the history of this horse. I am sure I will revisit this later.
Amazing Gold embossed label. Most companies at the time used real gold flakes in the embossing.
Imagine hanging this over 100-year-old 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.
