EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vintage advertising gem from 1928-29: the Players Navy Cut Medium cigarettes counter card in the shape of a capstan. The deep blue background, adorned with elegant gold edging, immediately draws your attention. In the center, a striking red trapezoid panel takes prominence, featuring an attached small picture of a sailor at its bottom. This sailor proudly represents H. M. S. INVINCIBLE as indicated by his cap band. The image exudes nostalgia and captures the essence of Nottingham's rich history in tobacco production and maritime heritage. The packaging design cleverly combines elements of uniformed costume and sailing imagery to create an eye-catching piece that would have surely enticed customers back in its time. Notably absent from this description is any mention of commercial use or branding associated with John Player and Sons—the renowned tobacco company behind this iconic advertisement—allowing us to appreciate this photograph solely for its historical value. As you gaze upon this remarkable print, let your imagination wander through vast seascapes while envisioning sailors aboard majestic ships navigating treacherous waters. Perhaps even imagine yourself partaking in thrilling sports like football on deck during moments of respite amidst their demanding duties at sea. Overall, this print serves as both a testament to Nottingham's industrial past and an artistic representation capturing the allure of naval life intertwined with tobacco culture—a truly unique piece worth cherishing for generations to come.
