Wow! Where do you want to go on holidays when you see this spectacular original travel poster? Australia!
A wonderful poster designed by Gert Sellheim to promote Australia a as travel destination. I guess the poster was a success. It still has clear message.
Sellheim was a German-Australian artist. He won the Sulman Prize for his work in 1939 for his Mural Decoration on wall of Victorian Government Tourist Bureau in Melbourne. Along with James Northfield and Percy Trompf, Sellheim is considered to be one of the finest artists who designed travel posters in Australia in the 1930s.
In excellent condition mounted on linen. This poster would sparkle on the wall!
