EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a glimpse of history with its depiction of a Players Navy Mixture tobacco counter card from 1927. The rectangular 3-D card showcases intricate details on both the front and back panels. On the back, we see a beautifully illustrated two-masted sailing ship, evoking images of maritime adventures. The focal point is the front panel, featuring an elegantly dressed man who embodies the spirit of a sailor from around 1750. He wears a soft-cap and dons a blue and white striped shirt paired with a vibrant red and yellow neck-scarf. Completing his attire are knee-breaches covered by what appears to be a leather apron, white stockings, and buckled shoes. Engrossed in his momentary respite, he leisurely smokes a short-stemmed clay pipe. Beneath this figure lie three packs of Players Navy Mixture tobacco neatly arranged for display purposes. The text boldly reads "PLAYERs // NAVY // MIXTURE" emphasizing the brand's name and product offering. On the reverse side is an informative label that reveals Mardons as the creators behind these mesmerizing window novelties. They specialize in embossed showcards along with various other services such as varnishing, gelatinizing, frame making - all available at their Bristol & London locations. This photograph not only serves as an advertisement but also offers us insights into Nottingham's rich history through its portrayal of costume fashion from the 18th
