One cigar box top illustration, "Consumato," that was done by the Calvert Lithographing Company of Detroit. The drawing was done in watercolor on a sheet of white art board. It shows a decorative gold-colored circular design which includes flowers, leaves, and a large dark blue circle at the center. Large red printed text above the design reads "Consumato." Smaller blue printed text along the upper edge of the design reads "Elijido de los Mejores." A small red shield emblem at the center lower edge of the design includes an image of a gold-colored coin with text that reads "Habana." The artist's name or marks are not visible. A white adhesive label on the verso has black printed and handwritten text that reads "No. A, 57." Adjacent black and white printed text reads "This Sketch is the Property of the Calvert Lithographing Co., Detroit, Mich. 'The Model Shop' and Is To Be Returned to Them Whether Accepted Or Not." Additional printed text reads "It Must Not Be Exhibited Without Our Consent To Our Competitors Nor Used In Any Way." A blue ink stamp has text that reads "This sketch in the property of the Calvert Lithographing Co., Detroit, Mich., and is to be returned to them whether accepted or not." A black ink stamp has text that reads "Art Gallery of Windsor, 17." The drawing is mounted in a tan matte board frame.
