EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a charming scene from 1922, showcasing the iconic No. 3 cigarettes by Players. The counter card is designed in an oval shape, resembling a picture or mirror frame. In the center, we see a man dressed in exquisite eighteenth-century attire, complete with a queue wig, seated at an elegant writing desk or bureau. With effortless grace, he enjoys one of these fine cigarettes while an open box rests on the bureau's surface. Below the main image are various packets and boxes of No. 3 cigarettes alongside loose ones scattered about. A panel boldly displays "PLAYERs // NO. 3 // Virginia Cigarettes" and emphasizes that they are sold by weight and available in cartons of ten or twenty. This delightful piece bears the signature of John Player & Sons Nottingham, renowned for their tobacco products. The reverse side features a hanging loop and support to allow it to stand upright as desired. Additionally, there is a handwritten note dating this card precisely to 1922-2 and another label indicating Mardons as manufacturers specializing in window novelties, embossed showcards, varnishing services, gelatiners & frame making based in Bristol & London. Transporting us back to an era where letter writing was cherished within domestic interiors adorned with exquisite furniture pieces like this writing desk; this photograph print serves as both historical documentation and nostalgic artwork celebrating Nottingham's rich heritage.
