Description

This Olympus Cigar label was found in an old box of cigar labels that dated from the 1920s – most of the companies having gone out of business.

Subsequently I informed the personnel of Harvard College years ago of the existence of this label, and the fact that the artist had clearly misinterpreted his instructions to paint an image of the founder of Harvard College: John Harvard – in fact, mistakenly painting a portrait of the first schoolmaster of Harvard: Nathaniel Eaton; which it can easily be seen was far older than John Harvard would have been who died in 1638 at the age of 29. Nathaniel Eaton, on the other hand, lived to be at least 64 years old having died in 1674 (also notice the sitter's collar to be the same as that worn by Oliver Cromwell in 1657).

As the copyright has probably expired, fairuse is contentended here.
