The artwork and legacy of Walter Jardine.
The National Library of Australia: ...'Stamina (Clothing) advertised extensively to men and boys in the 1950s, and Walter Jardine, one of Australia’s great commercial artists, did much of its artwork, including posters, newspaper advertisements, books and collectors’ card series, notably Men of Stamina, a pantheon of ‘great men’ from Socrates to Alfred Nobel and beyond. Stamina offers ample source material for a study of ideals of masculinity and human achievement in 1950s advertising'...
