EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a piece of advertising history from the late 1920s. The rectangular counter card features a striking dark blue background, creating an eye-catching contrast with the central focus: a pack of Navy Cut Medium cigarettes by Players. The attention to detail is evident in the drilled hole at the bottom left corner, perhaps indicating its previous use as a display item. The text on the card reads "Players // Please! // 10 for 6d 20 for 111/2d // Its the Tobacco that Counts" showcasing both affordability and quality. This advertisement would have undoubtedly caught the attention of passersby during its time. Beyond being an intriguing glimpse into past marketing strategies, this image also evokes notions of uniformity and costume. With references to sailing ships and sailors, it hints at adventure and exploration associated with life at sea. It's interesting to note how tobacco products were often intertwined with various aspects of society back then, including sports like football. Overall, this print serves as a visual reminder of Nottingham's rich history in advertising and manufacturing, particularly through iconic brands like John Player & Sons. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on how times have changed while appreciating the artistry behind these vintage advertisements.
