Welcome to our collection of Corona Labels. The images in this gallery are scans of original artifacts captured at 600 DPI and uploaded to this website at reduced quality without further alteration. If you are interested in viewing the original images at the highest resolution, please Contact Us.
Lithography is incredible to admire in person, but digital scanning often leaves out (or exaggerates) many details. Determining exactly what you are seeing is sometimes best done through description. Evaluating art is inherently subjective, but we had to start somewhere! We encourage all collectors to follow a consistent standard of judgement within their own collections.
Our examples are graded using the CGC standard 10-point scale to maintain consistency across the gallery. Visit our Label Preservation page to learn more about how we grade and archive labels.
About This Collection
This gallery represents our ongoing effort to compile the most complete and comprehensive research collection of authentic citrus labels from Corona, California.
Although hundreds of different labels were originally produced, the examples shown below represent those we have been able to identify so far. Based on our research, there are at least 339 unique Corona labels, including variations and multiple print runs. Our gallery showcases all the labels currently available to us. This is a collaborative effort, and we welcome your help. If you have additional details, corrections, or images to share (or if you notice something we’ve missed) please don’t hesitate to reach out.
We haven’t seen them all yet… but that’s the goal.
