EDITORS COMMENTS
This selection of vintage Wills cigarette packets, captured by photographer Terry Parker, offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of tobacco advertising in Great Britain and Ireland during the 20th century. The collection showcases an array of intricately designed packets from various brands under the Wills umbrella, including Imperial, Capstan, and Embassy. Each packet, a testament to the artistic creativity and marketing prowess of the time, boasts unique graphics and typography. The Imperial packet, adorned with a regal crown and the Union Jack flag, exudes an air of prestige and tradition. The Capstan packet, featuring a sailor's cap and the tagline "Capstan Full Strength," appeals to the adventurous spirit of the era. Lastly, the Embassy packet, with its sleek, minimalist design and elegant script, embodies the sophistication and glamour of the mid-20th century. These packets not only serve as visual artifacts of a bygone era but also offer a glimpse into the cultural context of the time. The use of patriotic symbols, such as the Union Jack flag, reflects the national pride and identity of the British people. The nautical themes on the Capstan packet speak to the country's maritime heritage and the adventurous spirit of its people. This collection of Wills cigarette packets is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of advertising, graphic design, or the social history of the 20th century in Great Britain and Ireland. Each packet tells a story, offering a unique insight into the time and the people who lived in it.
