EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print showcases a rectangular counter card advertising No. 3 cigarettes from 1929, produced by John Player and Sons in Nottingham. The background of the card is a rich brown color with a slightly lighter border, creating an elegant and timeless aesthetic. At the center of the image, there is a depiction of a box of No. 3 cigarettes, enticing viewers with its classic design. The text on the card reads "PLAYERs NO. 3 // Virginia Cigarettes // FLAT TINS OF FIFTY // PRICE // 3/4 // PER 50" providing essential information about this tobacco product to potential customers. On the reverse side of the card, marks are visible where a support would have been attached in order to display it upright. This piece captures not only an advertisement for No. 3 cigarettes but also serves as a glimpse into advertising history during that era. It represents an era when smoking was widely accepted and promoted through visually appealing marketing materials like this counter card. As we admire this photograph today, let us appreciate it as both art and historical documentation rather than focusing on its commercial use or endorsing smoking habits that may no longer align with current societal norms.
