Yanko Spanko

What good stuff for the patriotic smoker of 1898! Uncle Sam, wearing a sailor's cap and defiling the Spanish flag, spanks a mutton-chopped embodiment of Iberian imperialism. Simultaneously in the background, the U.S. Navy metes out punishment to the Spanish fleet. In the early 20th century, tobacco was in great demand. Many companies issued products, like cigars, into the marketplace. To differentiate their brand, they hired artists to design fancy labels for the boxes and the cigars themselves. Many names were also given to these brands and often these names were take from current events, history, or people. This label is an example of the art of the period., F. Heppenheimer's Sons Litho, 1898.
