EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a piece of advertising history from 1928, featuring the iconic "Players Please" rectangular counter card. The dark blue background with gold edging adds an air of elegance to this promotional item. In the bottom right corner, we see the recognizable sailor in a life-buoy trademark, symbolizing adventure and maritime themes. The text boldly reads "Players // Please" enticing viewers to indulge in their favorite tobacco products. On the reverse side, there is a practical support that allows the card to stand upright, making it perfect for display purposes. Additionally, a hanging loop provides versatility for those who prefer to showcase it on walls or other surfaces. This image evokes nostalgia and takes us back to an era when advertising was both artistic and functional. It highlights Nottingham's rich history as a hub for manufacturing and commerce while also showcasing elements of uniformed costumes associated with sailing and military traditions. While not mentioning any specific company name or commercial use, this photograph reminds us of John Player & Sons' contribution to the tobacco industry during that time period. Overall, this print serves as a testament to Nottingham's cultural heritage and its connection with naval imagery intertwined with packaging design aesthetics.
