A Map of Australia Portraying Her Agricultural Products and Fisheries (1930) by MacDonald Gil

Abundant Australia — Agricultural Products & Fisheries (1930)

Step into a bright, industrious Australia at the turn of the decade. First published in 1930 by the celebrated cartographer MacDonald Gill, A Map of Australia Portraying Her Agricultural Products and Fisheries turns the continent into a lively panorama of work and water—pastures and wheat belts, dairies and orchards, fishing grounds and ports—arranged with Gill’s unmistakable lettering and cheerful clarity. It’s a confident portrait of a nation built on the land and sea.
