Travel posters are an ever-popular aspect of graphic design. I thought I would feature a broad spectrum of posters from the first half of the C20th, the golden age of the travel poster probably being associated with the 1920s and 1930s with posters by artists like Roger Broders, featuring sunny Mediterranean scenes.
This is part 3 of an 8 - part post on vintage travel posters. For earlier works see parts 1 and 2 also.
James Northfield Posters
James Northfield (1887 - 1973), one of Australia's best known graphic artists of the C20th, was born at Inverleigh, Victoria, Australia in 1887 and educated in Geelong. He served an apprenticeship in Geelong and Melbourne, had a studio in Melbourne city for 25 years, and was a Director of the Art Training Institute of Victoria.
