EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print showcases a rectangular, convex counter card advertising No. 3 cigarettes from 1923-25. The rich brown background of the card features a darker brown panel in the center, which proudly displays the text: "PLAYERS // NO. 3 // Virginia // Cigarettes // IN 10s & 20s // JOHN PLAYER & SONS". Positioned at the bottom of this panel are two packs of No. 3 cigarettes, enticing smokers with their allure. On the reverse side of the card, there is a support that allows it to stand upright, complete with an integral hanging loop or hoop for versatile display options. Adding to its historical significance are a rubber stamp and hand-written note dating back to "7 DEC 1923" providing valuable context about its origins. Additionally, a label on the card reveals that it was manufactured by Mardons—an esteemed company specializing in window novelties and various other products such as embossed showcards and varnishes—in both Bristol and London. This image captures not only an iconic advertisement but also offers us a glimpse into Nottingham's history as a hub for tobacco production through John Player & Sons—a renowned name in the industry. It serves as a testament to how advertising has evolved over time while preserving elements of nostalgia that continue to captivate audiences today.
