About the Item

c. 1910s; P. Lorillard Company - Greensboro, NC Framed lithographed advertising print for Honest Scrap plug tobacco, depicting a tense, narrative-driven scene of a dog and black cat squaring off over a package of tobacco. The central product-an "Honest Scrap" box-is prominently placed between the two animals, reinforcing the brand's slogan "An Everyday Scrap" printed along the lower edge. The imagery plays directly on the familiar "fighting like cats and dogs" phrase, turning it into a memorable and slightly humorous marketing device. Background elements suggest a pastoral or rural setting, grounding the ad in the everyday life of its intended consumer. The print is housed in a simple dark-stained wood frame, which contrasts with the colorful but now mellowed palette of the lithograph. Visible throughout are areas of surface wear, creasing, and age toning, especially along the edges and within the field, giving the piece a well-traveled, authentic presence.
