EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a moment in cricket history with its depiction of a cricket ground. In the foreground, we see a cricketer walking away from the field, signaling the end of his innings. With a bat in his left hand and slightly raising his cap, he exudes both confidence and sportsmanship. The signature in the top left corner adds an air of mystery as it appears to read "Sep Edw??". The rectangular, convex counter card showcases Players Navy Cut Tobacco and Cigarettes, which were undoubtedly popular choices during that era. The text on the card proudly states "PLAYERs // NAVY CUT // TOBACCO AND CIGARETTES // 'Its the Tobacco that Counts' // THE NATIONs CHOICE". This advertising slogan emphasizes the quality and preference for this brand among tobacco enthusiasts. On the reverse side of this historical artifact, remnants of support can be seen along with a label indicating Mardons Window Novelties - specialists in embossed showcards, varnishing, gelatinizing & frame making based in Bristol & London. This image not only celebrates Nottingham's rich cricketing heritage but also serves as a reminder of John Player and Sons' contribution to tobacco culture during 1927. It is truly fascinating how such photographs provide glimpses into bygone eras while preserving moments that continue to resonate with us today.
