Niagara Falls Apple Can Label Montage
Poziom:
Temat: Sztuka i rozrywka
These Niagara Falls Canning Company
apple labels
date from an order placed
on February 13, 1908,
with the
Duncan Lithographing Company Limited
printing firm in Hamilton, Ontario.
The Niagara Peninsula,
a farming area between Hamilton
and Niagara Falls, Ontario
was one of the centres
of the canning industry
from the late 1880’s
until the 1960’s.
With thirty to forty canning plants
in the region,
goods were supplied
to the rest of Ontario
and across Canada.
Canneries employed regional artists
to design picture labels
such as these
which were printed
using lithographic techniques.
Working with
red, blue, yellow,
and blue-green inks,
each colour
had to be printed separately
and then superimposed
to create secondary colours
like green and purple.
Although the labels were mass-produced,
they are works of art
that required craftsmanship
and attention to detail.
Who ever said that
the American Pop artist Andy Warhol,
well known for his paintings
of Campbell soup cans,
was the first person
to make a tin can
a work of art?
