Vintage 1930s Evening Star Lemon Crate Label – California Citrus Art

A glowing California landscape captured on a piece of vintage advertising, this original Evening Star lemon crate label dates to the 1930s.

The richly colored artwork depicts a tall palm tree rising above orderly citrus groves, with mountains stretching across the horizon and a mission-style building nestled into the landscape. Rays of light and small stars appear in the deepening sky, while the bold Evening Star lettering arches across the top of the design.

Produced for the San Fernando Heights Lemon Association in California, the label is a beautiful example of the romantic landscape imagery once used to market California-grown citrus throughout the country.

This is an authentic vintage paper crate label rather than a modern reproduction. Its dramatic scenery and saturated color make it especially appealing for junk journals, altered books, collage, mixed-media artwork, vintage displays, or framing.

For journal makers, an original label like this can become a striking cover, divider, large pocket, tip-in, or focal piece while adding genuine vintage paper and California history to a handmade book.
