EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a piece of history from 1926, showcasing an advertisement for Airman tobaccos by John Player and Sons. The circular counter card features a striking design with an outer red ring and an inner white ring as its border. At the center of the card, two men can be seen soaring through the skies in a bi-plane, their adventurous spirit evident in every detail. The left wing-tips of the plane extend beyond the confines of the card, adding a dynamic element to this image. Bold text boldly declares "All at // 91/2D // PER OZ. // Players // AIRMAN // TOBACCOS" enticing potential customers with its irresistible offer. On the reverse side of this intriguing artifact are three handwritten notes that provide further insight into its origins. The first note simply states "1926" serving as a reminder of when this remarkable piece was created. The second note reads "C100" perhaps indicating some sort of internal code or reference number associated with this particular advertising campaign. Lastly, there is a question mark next to "1920?" suggesting uncertainty about whether it was produced earlier than initially thought. This photograph not only offers us glimpses into Nottingham's past but also highlights themes such as aviation, military history, and tobacco culture during that era – all elements that contribute to our understanding and appreciation for this unique slice of time captured on paper.
