EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a true piece of Nottingham's advertising history. Dating back to 1958, this large rectangular counter-card showcases the iconic Players Navy Cut Tobacco and Cigarettes brand. The focal point of the image is a reproduction of W. Howard Jarvis' remarkable painting depicting HMS Girdle Ness, an impressive ship sailing through the vast sea. The artwork beautifully portrays the grandeur of Girdle Ness as it takes center stage, flanked by anti-submarine frigates from the Blackwood class. This powerful composition symbolizes strength and protection in maritime warfare. To add a touch of enchantment, a vibrant rainbow graces the left side of the painting, further enhancing its visual appeal. As we delve into this photograph's details, we are reminded not only of Nottingham's rich advertising heritage but also its deep-rooted connection to naval traditions. The sailor uniforms worn by those aboard these vessels evoke nostalgia for an era when tobacco was synonymous with seafaring adventures. John Player and Sons may have commissioned this masterpiece for promotional purposes; however, let us appreciate it today purely as an artistic representation rather than commercial propaganda. This print serves as both a testament to Nottingham's industrial past and a tribute to those who served at sea during that time. In preserving such historical treasures like this one within our city photos collection, we ensure that future generations can admire and learn from these glimpses into our shared heritage
