Circular 1880s Cigar Box Label - In Passing

Circular1880sCigarBoxLabel-InPassing61.jpg

Why do I like this little circular 1880s cigar box label so much?  I’m trying to figure it out.  Though it will be mostly about color – and there is a spectrum of bright colors present in the piece.  In addition, the clean work by the lithographer, catching a look in the eyes of the fancily dressed couple, expressive of their superiority.  And, I think as a square label this image would have been less successful.So – congrats to the unknown litho company, who made this little gem?
