| Description |
This plan is part of our gallery celebrating the 50th Anniversary of State Records Rail travel was a widely-used mode of transport for tourists and sightseers in New South Wales up to the mid-20th Century. The Railways cooperated with the Government Tourist Bureau to produce a variety of tourist literature to meet public demand. In the 1930s, Henry (Harry) J Weston, a cartoonist and commercial artist, seems to have been commissioned to do a series of tourist maps for various regions in New South Wales. The descriptions and photographs of key attractions (on the back of the maps) are fairly standard, but he brought a distinctive individual touch to the maps themselves, with various towns and regions highlighted by means of quirky drawings. This South Coast map, for example, has the NSW-Victorian border marked by a fence with two neighbours arguing across it. NRS 16407/1/2 Railway Tourist Guides, Maps and Souvenir Booklets, 1879-1946. South Coast for the tourist (36), by Henry J Weston, 1938.
