A Pause for More Pleasure, 1951
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a nostalgic moment in time through the lens of advertising. This vintage print, featuring a reproduction of Van Jones' painting, transports us to a coastal scene where a lady clad in an elegant cream jumpsuit dress takes respite from her day on a red bicycle. With a lit cigarette delicately held between her fingers, she gazes towards the viewer with an air of sophistication. The backdrop reveals a picturesque harbor wall adorned with charming buildings and boats resting on the sand during low tide. The maritime atmosphere adds to the allure of this scene, evoking feelings of tranquility and escape. Incorporating elements from Nottingham's rich history, this large rectangular counter-card bears the iconic Players Navy Cut sailor trademark at both bottom corners. The text gracefully interwoven within the image reads "Players // Please" while the bottom banner reminds us to take "A pause for more Pleasure". Beyond its advertising purpose lies an appreciation for outdoor activities such as cycling and boating that promote exercise and fresh air. As we admire this artwork, we are reminded of John Player and Sons' legacy in tobacco production without delving into commercial use. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece by Van Jones and a testament to Nottingham's cultural heritage – capturing not only moments but also emotions associated with leisurely pursuits along our beloved coastlines.
