Australian Sydney Harbour Bridge design Painting 1932
By Douglas Annand
Located in Seaford, GB
Sydney Harbour poster Sydney Harbour Bridge poster design Attributed to Douglas Annand in our opinion, this was an original drawing for the 1932 poster competition. In 1932, the poster competition committee asked Douglas Annand and Arthur Whitmore to collaborate together to produce the now-famous 19th March 1932 poster. There are clear similarities between ours and the collaborative poster. Our design clearly shows more of an Art Deco and feminine design, as opposed to the more masculine, collaborative Sydney Harbour Bridge poster design. Our drawing is Gouache on paper laid down on the artist's board. The drawing is in the original frame and mount, dated March 1932 and is unsigned. BIOGRAPHY Douglas Shenton Annand (1903-1976), graphic designer and artist, was born on 22 March 1903 at Toowoomba, Queensland, the third child of Frederick William Gadsby Annand, accountant, and his wife Helen Alice, née Robinson, both Queenslanders. Having taken the commercial course at the Central Technical College, Brisbane, in 1920, Douglas j...
