EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "Night Moorings" illustration by Charles Pears, featured on a rectangular covered counter-card for Players Navy Cut Tobacco and Cigarettes. The enchanting night scene transports us to a maritime setting, where a small tugboat takes center stage in the foreground. Its glowing yellow and red lights illuminate the darkness as it prepares to tow in a majestic clipper ship. The attention to detail is remarkable, with two sailors standing on a float beside the boats, eagerly awaiting their moment to throw the rope overboard. Pears' signature proudly adorns the bottom left corner of this masterpiece, adding an authentic touch of artistry. Underneath this breathtaking image lies bold text that reads "PLAYERs // NAVY CUT TOBACCO & CIGARETTES" emphasizing its connection to John Player and Sons—a renowned tobacco company based in Nottingham. Adding further authenticity is the sailor lifebuoy trademark situated underneath the bottom right corner of this illustration. This symbolizes both safety at sea and serves as a reminder of naval traditions associated with tobacco consumption among sailors. As we admire this vintage advertising gem from 1952, we are transported back in time to an era when maritime adventures captivated imaginations worldwide. It serves as both an homage to Nottingham's rich history and an invitation for viewers to indulge in nostalgia while appreciating exceptional artistry.
