EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print showcases a unique advertising piece from 1926, featuring the iconic Airman Tobacco by John Player and Sons. The counter card is ingeniously shaped like a capstan, with a white background adorned by a stylish white and grey chequered border. At the base of the card, we can see an assortment of tines and packs displaying various flavors such as Airman Golden Honeydew, Flake, Navy Cut, and Mixture tobacco. The text on the card proudly states "PLAYERs // AIRMAN // TOBACCOS // BLENDS OF // BRITISH // EMPIRE // & VIRGINIA // LEAF // 9 1/2D. PER OZ. ", emphasizing the quality and heritage behind these tobacco blends. On the reverse side of this remarkable piece is a support that allows it to stand upright along with a label bearing the inscription "MARDONS WINDOW NOVELTIES EMBOSSED SHOWCARDS / &C, &C VARNISHERS GELATINERS & FRAME MAKERS BRISTOL & LONDON". This image provides us with an intriguing glimpse into Nottingham's rich history in advertising while also celebrating its military ties through RAF-inspired imagery. It serves as both a testament to John Player and Sons' craftsmanship in creating eye-catching promotional materials for their products and as an artifact representing an era when tobacco was widely enjoyed by members of the air force or anyone seeking high-quality British Empire blends.
