PERCY TROMPF WESTERN AUSTRALIA'S CENTENARY. 1929.
39 3/4x25 1/4 inches. Sydney Day Litho.
Condition B+: restored losses, repaired tears and overpainting in margins and image; vertical and horizontal folds.
Using the 100th anniversary of the founding of Western Australia (a vast tract of the continent which includes Perth) as an excuse to lure travellers by train, Trompf illustrates a welcoming farmer, with an outstretched hand, inviting all to see his farm land where he is raising horses, sheep and cows.
