Two young women take a break from a game of tennis to enjoy the views across Port Phillip bay in this wonderfully engaging print from Australian graphic artist James Northfield. The bay is alive with a variety of watercraft from the era and in the distance, families enjoy a day at the beach.

James Northfield was active as an artist from the 1910s through to the 1960s, and this print is one of many that he produced for the Australian Travel Association.

James Northfield - One Hour Out
James Northfield was a commercial Australian graphic artist mostly active from 1910 and 1960. James was born in Inverleigh in 1887 and educated in Geelong. He died in 1973.

He was commissioned to produce a series of posters by the Australian National Travel Association, with the aim of encouraging visitors from local and overseas tourism markets. He also created a series of patriotic work for the Government during World War II.

His work was praised for its composition and detail and for accurately capturing Australian landscape and fauna.
