James Northfield (1887 - 1973) was an Australian graphic artist active from the 1910s through to the 1960s. He illustrated many commercial and government advertisements which depict Australian scenery, wildlife and daily life〔("Triumph in the Tropics: Selling Queensland" ). ''Centre for the Government of Queensland''〕 and also demonstrate the priorities of the government of the day. Northfield is best known as the designer of a series of posters for the Australian National Travel Agency promoting Australian holiday destinations to local and overseas travellers. Many of these 'Travel Poster' designs were included in the 1999-2000 exhibition "Follow the Sun - Australian travel posters 1930s–1950s" at the National Library of Australia, and in various other public exhibitions.〔Crawford, Robert.

A detailed monograph of Northfield's work, ''James Northfield and the Art of Selling Australia'', has been completed by author Michelle Hetherington of the National Museum of Australia. Today the James Northfield Heritage Art Trust is the legal copyright owner of his designs. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「James Northfield」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
