EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a piece of advertising history from 1925-26, showcasing the iconic Navy Cut mixed brands by Players. The rectangular counter card features a cream background with an elegant maroon and gold border. At the center, three blue ovals with gold borders steal the spotlight. In the left oval, we see a pack of Medium cigarettes; in the center oval, a pack of White Label cigarettes; and in the right oval, a pack of Drumhead cigarettes. The text boldly states "Three of the Best" followed by "PLAYERS" and pricing details: "10 for 6D" "10 for 51/2D" and "10 for 4d". On its reverse side, there is a support allowing it to stand upright along with handwritten approval notes dated July 12th, 1926. This image not only highlights Nottingham's rich advertising heritage but also evokes nostalgia for an era when uniformed sailors roamed vast seascapes aboard majestic ships. The presence of drums suggests maritime connections while emphasizing that these tobacco products were favored among sailors. A fascinating glimpse into packaging design history combined with John Player & Sons' legacy as purveyors of quality tobacco products make this print truly remarkable. It serves as both a testament to Nottingham's storied past and an enduring symbol of timeless craftsmanship.
