EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a piece of history from 1920, showcasing the iconic Players Roll Call tobacco push forward counter card. The triangular-shaped display is formed by neatly arranged packs of Roll Call tobacco, creating an eye-catching arrangement. Positioned near the top, a banner boldly pushes forward with the text "ROLL CALL // TOBACCO" proudly announcing its presence. What makes this counter card unique is its reverse side – a cleverly designed support that simultaneously propels the front banner forward while allowing the entire card to stand upright. This ingenious mechanism adds both functionality and visual appeal to this advertising masterpiece. The image takes us back to an era when advertising was not only about promoting products but also capturing attention through creativity and innovation. It reminds us of Nottingham's rich heritage in manufacturing and commerce, as well as John Player and Sons' significant contribution to the tobacco industry. While military uniforms are subtly hinted at in this photograph, it serves primarily as a testament to Nottingham's vibrant advertising scene during that time period. This print offers a glimpse into how companies like John Player and Sons utilized imaginative marketing strategies to captivate their audience without explicitly mentioning commercial use. Overall, this print beautifully encapsulates an era where artistry met advertisement, leaving viewers intrigued by its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
