-
Small poster promoting an assisted passage migration scheme intended to bring British people to Australia, who were known colloquially as "ten pound Poms". The assisted passage migration scheme was initiated in 1945 by Australia's Minister for Australian Industry. The fare for adult emigrants was only ten pounds sterling, leading to the expression "Ten pound Poms". The screen printed color poster features a black & white image of a husband and wife superimposed on a bright red suitcase with the luggage tag serving as the banner for the printed headline. Below the parents is a blue suitcase with a boy and girl, with the luggage tag headline which reads "Youngsters under 19 go FREE!". -Antipodean Books, Maps & Prints, April 2019.
