Description
Vintage Australia Koala poster linen-backed Original Peter Hawthorn Australian Tourist Commission (circa 1970–1975) grade A- ready to frame is a rare, original vintage promotional poster commissioned by the Australian Tourist Commission (ATC). It features a detailed pen and ink illustration of a Koala by the artist Peter Hawthorn. Hawthorn was part of a select group of artists whose work helped define Australia’s international tourism image during the latter half of the 20th century.
The artwork showcases a masterful use of pen and ink, capturing the intricate texture of the koala’s fur and the rugged bark of the eucalyptus tree. This high-contrast wildlife illustration style is a hallmark of the ATC’s “Discover Australia” campaigns, designed to highlight the country’s unique fauna.
Estimated Date: Circa 1970–1975.
