“Australia — Sydney Harbour”
Vintage Travel Poster (c.1950)
Seen from above, the world’s loveliest harbour unfurls in sweeping blues and golds—headlands, islands, and wharves alive with movement, while ships trace bright paths through sunlit water. Created during the golden age of travel, this striking poster presents Sydney as a global gateway: confident, modern, and irresistibly beautiful.
Grand. Luminous. Effortlessly iconic.
