This is an exquisite vintage Australian travel poster promoting Mt. Macedon in Victoria, Australia.
The artwork showcases the iconic WWI Memorial Cross, a 70-foot structure situated at an elevation of 3,300 feet above sea level on Mount Macedon. This prominent landmark was erected in 1935 to honor the Victorians who lost their lives in the First World War. The cross is surrounded by lush foliage, and the poster’s composition captures sweeping views of the picturesque countryside, with fields stretching into the horizon.
This poster, likely issued in the 1950s by the Government of Victoria Tourist Development Authority, reflects the era's emphasis on promoting regional landmarks as part of travel campaigns. The vibrant illustration style and rich colors evoke a sense of serenity and natural beauty.
The poster is in very good condition, showing light age-related wear. It has been professionally mounted on linen with an acid-free barrier to ensure its long-term preservation.
