EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print showcases a beautifully designed rectangular counter card from 1906, promoting various tobacco mixtures by John Player & Sons. The card itself has been intricately cut to resemble an elegant carved picture frame, adding a touch of sophistication to the advertisement. Embossed details further enhance its visual appeal. The art-nouveau design in gold surrounds the text, drawing attention to the high-class mixtures that John Player & Sons wishes to highlight for the smoking public. The brands listed include Old Stocks, Navy Mixture (both mild and medium), Country Life, Eighty Club, and Castle Mixture. Each blend is priced accordingly for different quantities. Not only does this piece serve as an advertising tool for these premium tobacco products but it also reflects the artistic style of the time period. Art nouveau elements can be seen in the intricate patterns and flowing lines that adorn the card. As we delve into Nottingham's history through this photograph, we catch a glimpse of how tobacco was marketed over a century ago. This relic from John Player & Sons' Castle Tobacco Factory reminds us of an era when such advertisements were meticulously crafted works of art themselves
