Description:

Cool off in Tasmania, Average temperature hottest month 62.3 degrees. This poster was commissioned by E.T. Emmett in 1929. The poster was intended as a departure from scenery and trout fishing images. In this poster the Tasmanian Government Tourist Bureau was returning to the notion of Tasmania as the ’Sanatorium of the South’, which had been used to advertise Tasmania in the 19th century.

The designer, Harry Garnet Kelly, was also an advertising manager for Cadbury-Fry-Pascal Pty Ltd for over twenty years and was a life member of the Art Society of Tasmania.

The poster is in great conditon mounted on linen. Slight signs of foldmarks. A real poster gem that would look great on the wall.
