Colour process lithograph, annotated "E.H. Turnor Studio" in image lower left, 100.6 x 64cm. Slight foxing to edges and margins. Linen-backed.

This poster, based on a photograph, appears to be the only one produced by Melbourne-born Edmund Herbert Turnor (1900-1958), who ran a commercial photographic studio in Melbourne during the 1930s and 1940s, and in Sydney during the 1950s. He contributed photographs to various publications including The Home magazine. Ref: NLA; BDM (Vic); SMH 1958 notices; The Age, 3.3.1941; myheritage.com.
The promontory, first sighted by Bass and Flinders in 1798, was named by Governor Hunter in honour of Thomas Wilson, a London friend of Flinders, who was a merchant engaged in Australian trade. Ref: Wiki.
