EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1934 with this print of an iconic counter-card advertising Players Drumhead Cigarettes. The image showcases a beautifully illustrated open packet of 10 Drumhead cigarettes, delicately placed on top of a lit Drumhead cigarette lying down. Against a backdrop of vibrant blue, the card is adorned with a striking green and white border that demands attention. The text boldly commands viewers to 'ASK FOR PLAYERS DRUMHEAD CIGARETTES, ' proudly emphasizing their Irish manufacture. A testament to the era's affordability, the card also highlights the irresistible price point: '10 for 4D. 20 for 8D. ' It's no wonder these cigarettes became synonymous with indulgence and satisfaction. This piece not only captures the essence of Dublin's rich history but also intertwines elements of music and military culture through its prominent drum head imagery. As if inviting you into a lively band performance, it evokes memories of spirited melodies filling the air as soldiers march in unison. Manufactured by John Player & Sons, this counter-card represents an era when tobacco advertising was at its peak. While we can't deny its historical significance, let us appreciate this print purely as an art form rather than endorsing commercial use. Displaying this unique piece will transport you back in time while adding character and charm to any space.
