Newspaper advertisement for Underwood's Sardines, featuring a drawing of a long-taloned, pointy-eared and pointy-tailed horned devil standing in front of a tin of sardines, with the slogan "Taste the Taste" over one of his outstretched arms. Beneath, the headline is "Underwood's / The Greatest Sardines in the world / for 10 to 15 cents." There's more copy from the makers of Underwood Deviled Ham, William Underwood Co. of Boston.

in 1921, this Nosferatu-adjacent creature was meant to entice you to buy sardines. Presumably.
