Broussard Crate Label Labels Lafayette Louisiana Packaging Potato Potatoes Sweet Vegetable Vegetables Vitamin Friedman Yams
EDITORS COMMENTS
This early 20th century photograph showcases a crate filled with freshly harvested yams and sweet potatoes, adorned with intricately designed labels. The labels, bearing the names "Vitamin Yams" and "Sweet Potatoes," add a touch of elegance and allure to the humble vegetables. The scene transports us back in time, evoking the spirit of Americana and the simplicity of domestic life. The image features a mother and her son, both dressed in turn-of-the-century attire, carefully examining the labels on the crate. Their expressions suggest a sense of pride and satisfaction, perhaps in the knowledge that they have grown and harvested these nutrient-rich vegetables themselves. The presence of the crate and the labels also implies that they are preparing to trade or sell their produce, adding a layer of economic significance to the scene. The photograph was taken in Lafayette, Louisiana, a region known for its rich agricultural heritage and production of sweet potatoes and yams. The labels on the crate reflect the growing awareness of the importance of vitamins in a healthy diet, a trend that was gaining popularity during this time. The design of the labels, with their ornate typography and vibrant colors, is reminiscent of the Art Nouveau movement, which was influential in graphic design during the early 20th century. Overall, this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the intersection of agriculture, design, and family life in America.
