EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a piece of advertising history from 1922, showcasing the iconic Players Navy Cut tobacco counter card. The rectangular black panel with its elegant gold surround exudes a classical design that evokes a sense of sophistication. At the base, packs of Medium, Gold Leaf, Tawny, and White Label tobacco are neatly displayed. In the center top of the surround proudly sits a small circular reproduction of Nottingham Castle's trademark. However, it is the captivating image in the tower's center that steals attention—a magnificent two-masted sailing ship being guided by a tug or pilot boat amidst other vessels dotting the background. A label bearing the number "2789" has been stapled to this remarkable card while text boldly declares "PLAYERs NAVY CUT // TOBACCO //" followed by each variant: "GOLD LEAF" "MEDIUM" "TAWNY" and "& WHITE LABEL". Turned around reveals an ingenious support allowing this card to stand upright and even boasts a hanging loop for alternative display options. A label on its reverse reads "MARDONS // WINDOW NOVELTIES // EMBOSSED SHOWCARDS / &C, &C // VARNISHERS // GELATINERS & FRAME MAKERS // BRISTOL & LONDON". This photograph not only showcases local view but also highlights Nottingham's maritime heritage alongside John Player and Sons' historic contribution to advertising excellence. It serves as both an intriguing glimpse into our past and a testament to timeless craftsmanship—truly an extraordinary find among Nottingham City Photos collection.
