EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a piece of advertising history from 1950. The rectangular covered counter-card features a reproduction of a painting showcasing the iconic Navy Cut sailor, proudly wearing his cap with "HMS EXCELLENT" written on it. Surrounding the sailor are images of two ships from the Navy Cut trademark and the trademark itself at the bottom. Beneath this charming depiction, there is a box of text enclosed by images that represent the maritime world. The text emphasizes how the Players Sailor figure symbolizes dependability and quality in tobacco manufacture. It goes on to highlight Players Navy Cut as a name that has become synonymous with excellence and satisfaction for smokers. The overall design of this counter-card exudes nostalgia, with its faux-wood border adding an extra touch of authenticity. This advertisement takes us back to an era when smoking was not only socially acceptable but also associated with adventure and seafaring spirit. As we gaze upon this print today, we can appreciate it as both a historical artifact and an artistic representation of Nottingham's rich heritage in tobacco manufacturing. It serves as a reminder that even advertisements can tell stories about our past, capturing moments in time when certain brands held great significance in people's lives.
