EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1959 showcases a vintage advertisement for Players Weights Cigarettes, a popular tobacco brand of that era. The large rectangular counter-card features an eye-catching central image of an open packet containing 20 Weights cigarettes. Against a vibrant red background adorned with orange stripes, the packaging stands out as a symbol of indulgence and pleasure. The text boldly displayed on the card reads "PLAYERs // Weights // for more pleasure" emphasizing the brand's promise to deliver an enhanced smoking experience. This advertising masterpiece was created by John Player and Sons, renowned for their innovative marketing strategies in the tobacco industry. Nottingham City Photos has preserved this piece of history, allowing us to glimpse into the past and witness how advertisements were designed to captivate audiences during that time. It serves as a reminder of how advertising techniques have evolved over the years. While we cannot ignore or endorse the health risks associated with smoking, this photograph offers us insight into society's perception towards tobacco consumption during the late 1950s. It is important to view such images within their historical context rather than promoting or glorifying harmful habits. As we observe this print today, let it serve as a testament to our progress in understanding and addressing public health concerns while appreciating artistry and design from bygone eras.
