EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a small rectangular counter-card advertisement from 1958, showcasing the iconic Players Navy Cut cigarettes. The focal point of the image is a stunning reproduction of a W. Howard Jarvis painting depicting small naval vessels passing by large harbour markers. In the foreground, we see a grey ship gracefully moving from right to left, proudly displaying the British naval flag at its back. The text on the card boldly declares "FAMOUS FOR QUALITY // Players Please" emphasizing the brand's reputation for excellence in tobacco production. Adding to its nautical charm, the sailor lifebuoy emblem can be spotted in the bottom right corner, further reinforcing its connection with maritime themes. This piece of advertising art not only highlights Nottingham's rich history as an industrial hub but also pays homage to sailors and their adventurous spirit. The uniformed sailor featured in this artwork represents both tradition and adventure associated with sailing and exploration. As part of John Player & Sons' legacy, this photograph serves as a reminder of their contribution to Nottingham's heritage while capturing elements that resonate with lovers of sea scapes and naval imagery alike. It is an exquisite piece that encapsulates nostalgia for times gone by when quality craftsmanship was celebrated above all else.
