This calendar advertisement by James Carlton Ltd., London, showcases “Number Ten Virginia Magnums” cigarettes through a glamorous portrayal of elite lifestyle. The visual features a sophisticated woman in a satin gown and fur stole, seated beside a man in formal evening wear—conveying elegance and prestige. Founded in 1936, James Carlton Ltd. quickly became a notable name in the British tobacco industry. The company expanded beyond the UK, establishing a presence in Asia—most notably in Calcutta (now Kolkata), India. One of its standout brands, Deluxe Tenor, enjoyed widespread popularity in the Indian market. In 1965, the brand was acquired by NTC Industries Limited, continuing its legacy under Indian ownership.
