Scope and Contents of the Collection
This collection contains over 80 citrus labels from Southern California from the late 19th century and early 20th century. The labels predominately originate from Claremont and North Pomona, California from as early as the 1890s and until the 1950s. In addition, the collection provides some historical insight into the culture of these areas through the art depicted on the labels, including artistic renditions of local packing houses, students and athletes from The Claremont Colleges, and Native Americans.
