This land auction print documents the Astolat Subdivision in Randwick, promoted in 1920 as “facing three of the best streets in Randwick” — Frenchmans Road, Astolat Street, and Avoca Street. The poster lays out allotments and street frontages with clarity and confidence, reflecting how location and street prestige were used to shape buyer interest in the early twentieth century.
The auction was scheduled for 14 February 1920, originally set for 3pm and later amended in red to 4pm, a small but telling detail that preserves the working life of the original poster. Positioned across the road from the Wireless Station, the subdivision was marketed at a time when proximity to modern infrastructure carried real appeal.
Both a promotional document and a historical record, the print captures Randwick at a moment of transition, when suburban growth, new technologies, and carefully chosen language defined how land was sold. It’s a quietly compelling piece for interiors that value urban history, early real estate design, and the fine details that anchor a place in time.
