EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Nottingham City Photos takes us back to the year 1956, where advertising was an art form in itself. The image showcases a rectangular counter-card featuring an exquisite illustration of four open packets of Players Navy Cut Cigarettes Medium, arranged in a domino-style formation. Each packet proudly stands tall, inviting players one after another to indulge in their rich tobacco flavor. The attention to detail is remarkable; the vibrant colors and intricate design instantly catch the eye. It's as if these cigarette packets have come alive, ready to embark on a journey with every sailor who chooses them. The maritime theme resonates strongly throughout the artwork - sailing ships and sea scapes serve as a backdrop for this enticing display. One can almost imagine being transported onto a naval vessel, surrounded by uniformed sailors donning their distinctive costumes while enjoying moments of respite at sea. This photograph encapsulates not only the allure of smoking but also captures a glimpse into British maritime history. John Player and Sons may not be mentioned explicitly here, but their brand presence is undeniable. This print serves as both an advertisement and a piece of art that reflects the cultural significance of tobacco during that era. As we admire this vintage gem from Nottingham City Photos, let it remind us how advertising has evolved over time while preserving its ability to captivate our imagination and transport us into different eras altogether.
