EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a rectangular counter card advertising No. 3 cigarettes from 1923-24. The vibrant red background with a green border immediately catches the eye, drawing attention to the open pack of No. 3 cigarettes and a box of these tobacco delights. The slightly embossed oval panel at the center proudly displays the text "PLAYERs // NO. 3 // Virginian Cigarettes // CORK TIPPED" while at the bottom, we find the iconic brand name "JOHN PLAYER & SONS, NOTTINGHAM". The intricate details on this card are truly remarkable; you can almost feel them beneath your fingertips as you admire it. A hanging loop attached to its top suggests that it was meant to be displayed for all to see. On the reverse side, there is an intriguing handwritten note dating this piece back to "1924". Additionally, a label reveals that MARDONS was responsible for manufacturing window novelties and various showcards in Bristol and London during that time period. This image not only serves as a testament to Nottingham's rich history but also showcases John Player & Sons' influence in the tobacco industry during those years gone by. It's fascinating how such simple objects like cigarette packs can hold so much historical significance and evoke nostalgia for days long past.
