label: Description (Brief)
content: This Hesperian brand apple crate label was used by Myron Foster during the early 20th century. The label was lithographed by the Schmidt Lithograph Company of Seattle, Washington. The label has an orange background with the image of a blue woman holding a golden apple. In Greek mythology, Hesperides were three nymphs, daughters of Hesperus (the Evening Star), who guarded Hera’s garden and its immortality-granting golden apples. Hesperian also means “relating to the West,” a very apt brand name for these Wenatchee, Washington apples.
