EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print showcases a rectangular counter card advertising No. 3 cigarettes from 1926, produced by John Player and Sons in Nottingham. The background of the card is a rich brown color with a slightly lighter brown border, giving it an elegant and timeless feel. In the center of the card, there is a single cigarette depicted, enticing viewers to indulge in this premium tobacco product. The text on the card emphasizes the exceptional quality of these cigarettes: "THE EXTRA QUALITY // VIRGINIA // PLAIN OR // TIPPED WITH CORK // OF PURE NATURAL GROWTH // PLAYERS // NO. 3 // VIRGINIA // CIGARETTES". The words "No. 3" are printed in white, adding contrast to the overall design. On the reverse side of this counter card, we find a label that reads "MARDONS // MANUFACTURERS OF WINDOW NOVELITES// EMBOSSED SHOWCARDS &c &c// VARNISHERS// GELATINERS & FRAME MAKERS// BRISTOL & LONDON". This label provides insight into Mardons' role as manufacturers specializing in various promotional materials such as window novelties and showcards. With its hanging loop at the top, this print captures not only an advertisement for No. 3 cigarettes but also serves as a glimpse into early twentieth-century marketing strategies and craftsmanship within Nottingham's tobacco industry.
