1930


The Victorian Railways travel poster campaign saw Geelong-born artist James Northfield engaged to create some key works throughout the 1920s and 1930s to promote railway visitation to the area. 

Northfield’s Geelong, Victoria, Australia depicts an early scene from Geelong's iconic waterfront, looking down on the water fountain, steps and beach house.
