Australia, 1935, by James Northfield
This 1935 poster by Australian artist James Northfield showcases a vibrant scene of native parrots set against a lush, natural backdrop. The composition features species such as the King Parrot, Eastern Rosella, Major Mitchell's Cockatoo, and Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo, rendered in vivid colours that highlight their distinctive plumage. The birds are depicted perched among native flora, capturing the rich biodiversity of Australia's avian life.
During the 1930s, Australia sought to promote itself as a desirable tourist destination, emphasising its unique wildlife and natural beauty. Organisations like the Australian National Travel Association commissioned artists to create posters that would appeal to both domestic and international audiences.
Born in 1887 near Inverleigh, Victoria, James Northfield was a prominent Australian commercial artist renowned for his travel posters. He began his career with an apprenticeship in lithography before establishing his own studio in Melbourne in the early 1930s. Northfield's expertise in colour lithography and design led to numerous commissions from travel organisations and government bodies. Beyond his commercial work, he contributed to war effort propaganda during World War II and later explored oil painting, focusing on Australian landscapes.
