EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the essence of holiday cheer and nostalgia. In the image, a woman is seen tying a scarf around a snowman, both adorned in vibrant reds and blues. The snowman's mischievous wink adds an element of playfulness to the scene. The rectangular counter-card prominently features the text "A man is always happy // with PLAYERs // Weights" cleverly promoting Players Weights Cigarettes as an essential companion for joyous moments. Positioned in the bottom right corner is an image of a gift box containing 50 cigarettes, further emphasizing their association with celebration. Set against a backdrop of snowy Nottingham streets, this advertisement evokes memories of wintertime festivities and family gatherings. The towering pine tree behind them serves as a symbol of tradition and seasonal spirit. Although tobacco may have been part of everyday life during that era, it's important to note that this caption does not endorse or promote smoking but rather highlights the historical context surrounding advertising practices at that time. Overall, this photograph encapsulates the magic and merriment associated with Christmas while offering us a glimpse into past advertising strategies employed by John Player & Sons in Nottingham City.
