Streets, Parks & Landmarks — Pictorial Map of Hobart (1927)

A snapshot of a harbour city between the wars, rendered with clarity and charm. This pictorial sheet—published by the Illustrated Tasmanian Mail (Hobart) in 1927—brings the city’s streets, parks, and chief buildings into sharp focus, with lively vignettes of local activities and scenic beauties. Clean, legible cartography rewards both room-distance viewing and close study—Hobart’s urban fabric, captured for display.

More Than a Map – A Testament to History

This isn’t just wall art—it’s a 1920s portrait of how Hobart moved, met, and made its way. Every label, landmark, and illustration reflects the city’s identity at a pivotal time. Ideal for educators, planners, historians, designers, and collectors, the sheet stands alone beautifully and pairs perfectly with modern city plans for then-and-now comparisons.

Hang it in studios, libraries, classrooms, museums, offices, or at home to invite reflection, study, and conversation.
