EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a piece of advertising history from 1938, featuring the iconic No. 3 Cigarettes by Players. The rectangular counter card showcases a stunning portrait of a young lady in an exquisite red crinoline dress and bonnet, framed within an intricately carved oval frame. With her graceful demeanor and book in hand, she exudes elegance and sophistication. Emblazoned across the card is the bold text "PLAYERs NO. 3 // THE EXTRA QUALITY // VIRGINIA CIGARETTE" emphasizing the superior quality of these Virginia cigarettes. This promotional item was created by John Player and Sons, renowned for their tobacco products. The attention to detail is evident not only on the front but also on the reverse side of this unique artifact. A handwritten note reading "C218" adds a personal touch to its provenance. As we delve into Nottingham's rich industrial past, this photograph offers us a glimpse into how advertising was crafted during that era. It serves as a testament to both artistic creativity and marketing strategies employed by companies like John Player and Sons
