EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1967 showcases a unique advertising campaign by Players Weights Cigarettes, a product of the renowned tobacco brand John Player and Sons. The rectangular counter-card features an intriguing colour image that instantly transports us back to the era when smoking was seen as both sophisticated and fashionable. In this particular shot, we see a distinguished gentleman holding a lit cigarette to his mouth with an air of confidence. His suave demeanor is further enhanced by the presence of a packet of Players Finest Virginia Weights cigarettes in his hand. The composition exudes elegance and style, capturing the essence of what it meant to be a smoker during those times. Nottingham City Photos has preserved this piece of history, allowing us to appreciate the artistry behind vintage advertising campaigns. This photograph serves as a reminder that smoking was once considered an honest indulgence for those who appreciated quality tobacco. While we cannot ignore the controversial health implications associated with smoking today, it is important to view this image within its historical context rather than endorsing or promoting commercial use. Instead, let's focus on how this photograph provides insight into past societal norms and attitudes towards tobacco consumption while appreciating its artistic value.
