Whitehorse Historical Society Inc.Artwork, other - Ink Line Drawing, Margaret Picken, 6 Judy Crt., Vermont, 2001
A property illustration by Margret Picken Commissioned by a real estate agency for the purpose of advertising 125 Jolimont Rd., Vermont This property is listed as having sold for $225,500 in 2001 Made by using Rotring ‘Rapidigraph’ drafting pens with Rotring ink on Rapidigraph polyester drafting film, double matte. Trained as a cartographic draftsman within the mining industry, Margaret Picken is an artist who worked producing property illustrations for real estate agencies in eastern suburbs of Victoria from 1983-2005.

This artwork is of Historical Significance as a record of local domestic architecture.
