EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print showcases a rectangular counter card advertising the iconic Airman Mixture tobacco from 1925-26. Against a regal purple background, the centerpiece of the card is a pack of Airman Mixture tobacco adorned with imitation RAF wings and crown. Although the angle of the wings may not be entirely accurate, they add an air of authenticity to this military-inspired design. The letter "P" proudly sits in the center of these wings, representing Players, while quarter RAF roundels grace the top left and right corners. To further entice potential customers, text on either side of the tobacco packet boasts its qualities as "A BLEND OF BRITISH EMPIRE, VIRGINIA & EASTERN TOBACCOS". On one side, it states that this premium blend can be acquired for just 9d per ounce. Below all this information stands proud lettering spelling out "Players AIRMAN Mixture". Flipping over to reveal its reverse side, we find a support allowing this card to stand upright. A handwritten note dates it back to 1925—a testament to its historical significance. Additionally, a label proudly displays "MARDONS WINDOW NOVELTIES" highlighting their expertise in embossed showcards and other related services such as varnishing and gelatinizing frames. This photograph captures both nostalgia for Nottingham's past and admiration for John Player and Sons' creative advertising prowess during that era—specifically targeting those with an affinity for military themes within their tobacco choices.
