Australasian WONDER ATLAS
published in Australia 1950s
Australasian WONDER ATLAS! An Atlas for the AIR AGE. NEW Up-to date Edition.
My partner and I collect Australian Atlases. Because: Maps. Kitsch. Graphs. Kitschy drawings. Idealised images of Australia in the 50s.
This one is a beauty!
It’s in fantastic vintage condition. Last week at our local primary school book fair we found another 50s Atlas. It has ink blobs on the cover, thumbed pages, scrawls from numerous children throughout, and the old library card in the front. It’s similarly fantastic- I love the use, wear and tear and obvious appeal that maps have.
If anyone has an old Australian Atlas- let me know!

Interesting. Could you show a few pictures from inside. I am interested in the 1950s Zeitgeist, the ideology of the time. Such books are often very revealing.
