EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a nostalgic moment from 1954, featuring a charming Navy sailor cut-out. The sailor is depicted leaning against a wooden post, engrossed in reading a newspaper. Dressed in his full navy-colored naval uniform, the attention to detail is impeccable. His cap proudly displays the words "HMS EXCELLENT" on the band, symbolizing his affiliation with this esteemed vessel. The counter-card was created as part of an advertising campaign for Players Navy Cut tobacco by John Player and Sons. Positioned below the sailor are bold red letters that read "Players // Please" urging viewers to indulge in their preferred brand of tobacco. Adding authenticity to this piece is the presence of the iconic Sailor Lifebuoy trademark at the bottom right corner. This emblem has become synonymous with maritime imagery and serves as a reminder of both safety and adventure associated with life at sea. Nottingham City Photos has preserved this snapshot of history, allowing us to appreciate not only the artistry behind it but also its cultural significance. It offers us a glimpse into an era when smoking was widely accepted and celebrated through creative marketing strategies
