Virginia Oranges, Spanish Crate Label

This Spanish citrus crate label transforms commercial packaging into Mediterranean folk art. A radiant young woman in traditional Valencian fallera costume, complete with elaborate gold peineta headdress and embroidered silk shawl, presents an abundant cascade of sun-ripened oranges against a deep blue sky. The dimensional typography of 'VIRGINIA' cleverly integrates with the tumbling fruit, creating a dynamic composition that captures the pride and abundance of Spain's citrus golden age. Produced for the J. Vidal Cogollos export house in Carcagente, this label represents the sophisticated marketing employed by Valencia's orange growers during the mid-century export boom. The chromolithography by Graficas Valencia demonstrates exceptional color registration and tonal range, particularly in the flesh tones and costume details. A standout piece for collectors of fruit crate art, Spanish ephemera, or mid-century commercial illustration. Size: 7.75" x 7.75" Condition: Very Good, Age-appropriate wear.
