EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Nottingham City Photos takes us back to the vibrant era of 1950s fashion and captures a slice of everyday life. Titled "Players Please: Shopping, 1952" this medium large rectangular counter-card showcases an iconic advertisement for Players Navy Cut Cigarettes. The focal point is a stunning illustration depicting a stylish woman donning a blue coat and red scarf adorned with white spots, exuding elegance as she embarks on her shopping expedition. The image transports us to the bustling streets of Nottingham, where this fashionable lady gracefully navigates through the city's shops with her trusty basket in hand. Her ensemble reflects the sartorial trends of the time - gloves delicately covering her hands add sophistication to her attire while hinting at an air of formality. While it is impossible not to notice the prominent advertising element in this photo print, let us appreciate its historical significance rather than commercial intent. This snapshot offers valuable insights into how brands like John Player and Sons sought to capture consumers' attention during that period. Beyond its promotional purpose, this photograph encapsulates more than just tobacco marketing; it immortalizes an era when women embraced their roles as housewives but also reveled in their own sense of style and independence. It serves as a testament to both timeless fashion choices and the spirit of exploration within daily routines. In essence, "Players Please: Shopping, 1952" invites us to step into the past and marvel at how even seemingly mundane moments can be transformed
