EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vintage advertisement for Empire Navy Cut cigarettes, dating back to 1927-28. The composition is strikingly unique, resembling a grand banner or pediment that exudes an air of sophistication and elegance. Positioned on either side are two majestic stylized lions, standing proudly in front of a black semi-circle backdrop. The text boldly emblazoned across the image reads "PLAYERs // EMPIRE // NAVY CUT CIGARETTES" emphasizing the brand's name and product with utmost prominence. This visual representation not only captures the essence of nature through its inclusion of regal lions but also serves as a testament to Nottingham's rich advertising history. John Player and Sons, renowned tobacco manufacturers from Nottingham, are responsible for this remarkable piece of artistry. While it is important to note that this caption does not mention commercial use, it cannot be denied that such an alluring display would have undoubtedly caught the attention of potential customers during its time. As we gaze upon this historic photograph today, we can appreciate both the craftsmanship behind its creation and the nostalgia it evokes. It stands as a reminder of how advertising has evolved over time while simultaneously preserving elements from nature - symbolized by the presence of these magnificent lion figures - within our urban landscapes.
