Greetings from Australia: A Vintage Celebration of National Pride and Heraldry Step back in time with this image of the Greetings from Australia print featuring the Commonwealth Coat of Arms. Dating back to the 1920s, this vintage piece showcases the rich history and symbolism of Australia's national emblems. At the heart of the design lies the large shield, emblazoned with the Australian Commonwealth Coat of Arms. The shield is dominated by the emu and kangaroo, two iconic Australian animals, which symbolize the country's unique identity and spirit of advancement. The animals stand facing each other, reinforcing the notion of unity and harmony between the diverse elements of Australian society. The six smaller shields within the large shield represent the six states of Australia: New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, and Tasmania. Each state shield displays its unique emblem, reflecting the distinct heritage and character of the region. Adorning the top of the large shield is the Commonwealth Star, a seven-pointed star symbolizing the unity and federation of the Australian states under the Commonwealth of Australia. The star is surrounded by the motto "Advance Australia," a call to progress and improvement that has resonated with generations of Australians. This evocative print, with its intricate heraldry and vibrant colors, offers a glimpse into the rich history and symbolism of Australia's national identity. A true collector's item, it is a must-have for anyone with an appreciation for vintage designs, Australian history, or heraldry.
