EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a unique piece of advertising history from 1936 - a rectangular counter card promoting Navy Cut Medium Cigarettes by John Player and Sons. The card, designed to resemble a marquetry panel, showcases exquisite craftsmanship with its depiction of a majestic three-masted sailing ship set against dramatic cliffs in the background. In the bottom right corner, prominently displayed, is a pack of the sought-after Medium cigarettes. The text on the card boldly states "Players Please // 10 FOR 6D 20 FOR 11 1/2d" enticing potential customers with an irresistible offer. On the reverse side of this remarkable artifact, there is even a support mechanism that allows it to stand upright for maximum visibility. Nottingham City Photos has preserved this image that not only represents an era when tobacco advertising was prevalent but also serves as a testament to Nottingham's rich industrial heritage. While we cannot overlook the historical significance and artistic beauty captured within this photograph, it's important to note that commercial use should not be associated with it. Take a step back in time and appreciate this stunning example of early twentieth-century marketing ingenuity through our exclusive print collection.
