Nottingham John Player & Sons, Imperial Tobacco Company no date (ca. 1934). Softcover, stappled, 16 pages with 50 colour cigarettes cards, 19x13cm., in acceptable condition (covers soiled, name on frontcover, pages and cards in good condition). Complete with all 50 cards. . An illustrated collectible album devoted to prominent film stars of the 1930s, featuring portraits of actors and actresses from the British and American film industries. The album was designed to accommodate a set of 50 cigarette cards, each presenting a colour portrait of a cinema personality accompanied by a short biographical text and, in many cases, information about their film careers and studio affiliations. Among the performers represented in the different series are Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Clark Gable, Jean Harlow, Gary Cooper, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Katharine Hepburn and Loretta Young. The album provides an interesting visual record of the international film industry during the golden age of early sound cinema and reflects the popularity of film stars and cigarette-card collecting in 1930s Britain. John Player & Sons was a British tobacco manufacturer established in Nottingham in the nineteenth century. The company became part of the Imperial Tobacco Company in 1901 but continued to market its products under the Player's brand. During the first half of the twentieth century, Player's became particularly well known for distributing illustrated collectible cards with cigarette packets. These cards covered a wide range of subjects, including cinema, sport, transport, history and natural history. Specially produced albums allowed collectors to organise and preserve their card collections. (AI-generated content description).…
