EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vintage advertisement for Navy Mixture tobacco, dating back to 1925. The rectangular 3-D counter card features an intriguing combination of elements that transport us to another era. On the back panel, two majestic galleons with English flags proudly fluttering in the wind take center stage against a backdrop of open seas. In the foreground, we are greeted by the head and shoulders of a man donning armor reminiscent of sixteenth-century Spanish soldiers. The text boldly emblazoned on the card reads "PLAYERs // NAVY MIXTURE // JOHN PLAYER & SONS, NOTTINGHAM" serving as a testament to both quality and heritage. Turning our attention to its reverse side, we discover a handwritten note stating "1 COPY ONLY" alongside a label identifying it as part of Mardons' collection - experts in window novelties, embossed showcards, varnishing techniques, gelatinizing processes, and frame making based in Bristol and London. This mesmerizing image captures not only the essence of advertising but also offers glimpses into history through its portrayal of arms and armor from centuries past. It is impossible not to be captivated by this unique blend of artistry and promotion that transports us back in time while simultaneously celebrating Nottingham's rich legacy
