Explore Richmond in 1921 – a working-class suburb of narrow streets and tight-packed terraces, captured at the height of its industrial era with nostalgic advertisements from Brinds Gin & Whisky to Triumph Motor Cycles framing the municipal boundaries. This map shows Bridge Road, Church Street, and the railway lines that defined the suburb’s character. Available in framed and unframed options. Experience superior print quality on 100% cotton fine art paper using museum-grade archival pigment inks.

The sizes are the final trimmed size and include a minimum 10mm border.
This vintage Richmond map captures Melbourne’s working-class heartland in 1921 – tight-packed terraces clustered around industrial river flats, Bridge Road lined with factories, and Richmond Hill’s grand homes looking down on the suburb below. Part of a tourist pocket map series, the map is framed with period advertisements from Brinds Whisky to Triumph Motor Cycles that capture the commercial character of early 20th century Melbourne.
Street names you’ll recognise today – Bridge Road, Church Street, Swan Street, Lennox Street – form the grid that housed 40,000 residents, most living in narrow workers’ cottages near the tanneries and factories along the Yarra. The vintage advertising creates a nostalgic aesthetic that celebrates Richmond’s industrial heritage before gentrification transformed the suburb.
This vintage Richmond map is perfect for Richmond locals tracing their family’s working-class roots, Tigers supporters celebrating the suburb’s authentic character, or anyone seeking wall art that honours Richmond before the 1990s warehouse conversions.
Each map is printed on archival 310gsm cotton rag paper using museum-grade pigment inks, ensuring exceptional colour accuracy and resistance to fading. Available unframed or framed in handcrafted Victorian Ash with an antique white mat board, hand-finished with a special blend of beeswax and carnauba wax.
