EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a piece of advertising history from 1928. The rectangular counter card showcases a variety of mixed tobacco brands by Players, a well-known name in the industry at the time. The cream background with a blue border creates an elegant and classic look, while illustrations of Country Life Medium, Country Life White Label, Navy Mixture Medium, and Navy Mixture White Label tobacco add visual appeal. The card proudly displays the prices below each tobacco brand, emphasizing affordability and value for customers. With options like the 2oz pocket tin priced at 2/- or 1/9, smokers had choices to suit their preferences without breaking the bank. On the reverse side of this counter card is a support that allows it to stand upright as part of store display or promotional materials. Additionally, there is a hanging loop for easy installation on walls or other surfaces. This print not only highlights Nottingham's rich advertising heritage but also provides glimpses into fashion trends with uniformed sailors depicted in sailing attire against a scenic seascape backdrop. It serves as a reminder of how packaging design played an essential role in attracting consumers even back then. Overall, this image offers us insight into early twentieth-century marketing strategies while showcasing John Player and Sons' contribution to the world of tobacco products.
