QUALITY REPRODUCTIONS OF VINTAGE ART & ADVERTISING

The artwork and legacy of Walter Jardine.

The production of this website in 2020 marked the 50th year since Walter Jardine's death in 1970 in order to record examples of his art, his legacy and the professional recognition afforded him in his field, both nationally and internationally.  The family estate is fortunate to retain a number of original artworks, both published and unpublished, and additional images will be added going forward.
  
Appreciation is extended to Brenda Northfield and the James Northfield Trust, who generously shared their own journey and initially inspired this website to action, and to all those who assisted with information, their time and expertise.
 
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'...  Author: Dr Susannah Helman Curator Manager Exhibitions Branch -The National Library of Australia
