James Northfield and the Art of Selling Australia
James Northfield and the Art of Selling Australia by Michelle Hetherington is a 2006 illustrated trade paperback that examines the iconic Australian advertising posters of James Northfield. This non‑fiction volume blends art history, cultural commentary and business insight, making it appealing to readers from ages 9‑12 through adults.
The book offers a vivid look at how Northfield’s imagery helped shape perceptions of Australia, with full‑color illustrations that bring the historic posters to life. It is a useful resource for anyone interested in Australian history, visual culture, or the development of national branding.
Condition is solid with a tight binding and clean, tidy pages free of writing or dog‑ears. Light foxing is present on the front and back inner covers and on some paper, but the book has been kept in a smoke‑free home.
Published by the National Library of Australia, this illustrated edition is a thoughtful addition for collectors of Australian art, history and business literature.
