EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Lowestoft Smacksman from the late 19th century, captured by the talented artist Payne Jennings, John. The image portrays a hardworking fisherman based in East Anglia on the West Coast of England, known for their expertise in fishing ports such as Hull, Grimsby, and Lowestoft. The smacksmen were named after the fishing boats called smacks that they used for their trade. During this period, these North Sea trawling ports dominated the English fishing industry. This particular illustration is part of a series of People of Europe cigarette cards produced by Anstie in 1925. Cigarette cards like these were immensely popular during their golden age from the late 19th century until World War II. They served not only as collector's items but also as sources of instruction, entertainment, and amusement before television and radio became widespread. In this vintage card advertisement, we see a smiling smacksman wearing his traditional sou'wester hat while standing on his trawler boat. His rugged appearance reflects his dedication to his work and highlights the importance of this industry during that era. This print captures both the essence of an important historical occupation and serves as a reminder of how marketing strategies have evolved over time. It provides us with insight into an era when cigarette cards played a significant role in advertising products while simultaneously offering educational value to collectors and enthusiasts alike.
