This vintage print captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing an iconic advertisement for Navy Cut Medium Cigarettes from 1931. Against a cream background, the focal point is a rectangular counter card featuring a captivating scene. Positioned slightly left of center, a sailing yacht gracefully glides through choppy waters manned by four determined men. The caption below proudly declares this masterpiece as "An Easy Winner" by renowned artist Montague Dawson. To the right of the picture, prominently displayed, sits a pack of Medium Cigarettes - the very product being promoted. Just beneath it lies the trademark sailor in his life-buoy attire, symbolizing both safety and adventure on high seas. The text "Players // Please" serves as an invitation to indulge in these fine tobacco products. With meticulous attention to detail, every element within this image exudes nostalgia and charm. From the hanging loop at its top to its impeccable packaging design, this piece seamlessly combines elements of advertising with nods to Nottingham's rich history and maritime heritage. Though originally intended for commercial use by John Player and Sons (the company behind these cigarettes), today it stands as a testament to craftsmanship and artistic vision that transcends time. A true collector's item capturing an era when uniformed sailors sailed majestic ships across vast oceans - forever etched into our cultural memory.
