So many things offend in this 1866 tobacco label: the native American genuflecting to an exalted Christopher Columbus, a dog, three monkeys, and a rabbit smoking tobacco in a tree branch, "pride" in one of the deadliest crops known to man. But, it is reaffirming that attitudes and policies can change. And they do. It just may take 100 years.
Have a nice day off.
