23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print captures a piece of advertising history from Nottingham in 1955. The small rectangular counter card features the iconic Players Navy Cut logo, with a yellow background and cream edge that adds a touch of vintage charm. In the center, we see the head and shoulders of a proud sailor wearing a hatband that reads "H Ms EXCELLENT" showcasing his affiliation with the Royal Navy. The attention to detail is remarkable, as even in this compact format, there is room for another sailor in the bottom right corner, depicted within a life buoy trade mark. This clever addition further emphasizes the maritime theme of this advertisement. The bold red title text boldly states "Players // Please" urging viewers to indulge in their tobacco products. However, it's important to note that this caption focuses on appreciating the historical significance and artistic elements captured within this image rather than promoting commercial use. Overall, this print serves as both an intriguing glimpse into advertising techniques of yesteryears and an ode to Nottingham's rich naval heritage. It encapsulates themes such as uniformity, sailing ships against sea scapes, and the brave sailors who navigated these waters under John Player & Sons' brand name – all while evoking nostalgia for those who remember or appreciate vintage aesthetics.
