VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage black and white advertisement for De Reszke Minors cigarettes, promoting an aviation-themed collectible card series. The ad features two main illustrations: at the top, a child pointing towards the sky excitedly identifies a "Bristol Bulldog" aircraft to his father, suggesting that it can climb 31, 700 feet. Below this scene is another illustration showing one of the actual cigarette cards with detailed images and information about an aircraft. The text within the image explains that these new cigarette cards are up-to-date and issued with De Reszke Minors in every packet of 'fives' for 2d. and 'tens' for 4d. It emphasizes that these cards illustrate modern types of British and foreign aeroplanes but also provide technical details on the back along with a "worm's-eye view" silhouette—helping enthusiasts recognize each machine from below. At the bottom of the advertisement is bold text reiterating the brand name "De Reszke MINORS, " followed by pricing information: "5 FOR 2d. " and "10 FOR 4d. " There's also mention of Godfrey Phillips Ltd. , indicating they are either manufacturers or distributors associated with this product. Overall, this ad combines consumer interests in smoking and contemporary fascination with aviation to create appeal among potential customers during what appears to be early to mid-20th century when both smoking was widely accepted socially, and public interest in airplanes was growing rapidly.
