First Pick

First Pick
"First Pick. O. L. Schwencke, lith., N.Y."

A cigar box label printed by O. L. Schwencke. Notice how a box featuring this label appears within the design of the label itself. This recursive picture-within-a-picture is called the Droste effect, which is named after the Droste cacao tin that featured an illustration of a nun holding the tin.
