ABOUT THE ART

Looking west down Collins Street from the Spring Street end. Melbourne Town Hall, Manchester Unity, Scots' Church - and winding through it all, the iconic W2 class trams of a city in full swing.

This is a rarely seen poster - number 220 in Percy Trompf's celebrated Victorian Railways series, painted circa 1940s. Born in Beaufort, Victoria, Trompf became one of Australia's most celebrated commercial artists and his Victorian Railways posters are now among the most sought-after examples of Australian graphic design.

Look closely and you'll spot tram number 397 collecting passengers on City Route 47. Built by James Moore & Sons in South Melbourne in 1926, it ran for over 60 years before retiring in 1987. That's Melbourne history on the move.

One customer put it perfectly: "Like this in the 60s when I worked in Collins Street. Great memories."

A natural for a lounge, study or home office - and a particularly special choice for anyone with a connection to Melbourne.

Unframed Prints

Printed on 230gsm acid-free, pH-neutral archival matte paper using premium pigment inks - rich colour saturation, sharp detail, made to last.

Framed Prints

Australian-made frames, done the right way.

Solid timber from local sustainable sources, acid-free backing boards - no MDF.

Available in black, white, chocolate oak and natural oak timber.

Cast acrylic instead of glass - lighter, clearer, and UV-protective.

Frame Colours - White Oak, Natural Oak, Chocolate Oak, Black Oak

Stretched Canvas

Printed on 380gsm Bauhaus bright white canvas - a cotton/polyester blend that holds tension beautifully and won't sag over time.

Stretched over timber stretcher bars from sustainably grown forests.

All finishing materials are museum grade and acid-free.

Arrives ready to hang.

Canvas Floating Frames

Our premium option.

Everything in Stretched Canvas above, then framed in your choice of timber with a 5mm gap between canvas and frame - giving the illusion that your image is floating within the frame.

A contemporary gallery look.

Available in black, white, chocolate oak and natural oak timber.

Arrives ready to hang.

Will the watermark appear on my print?

No. The watermark you see on product images online is there only to protect our restored and original artwork from being copied.

Unframed Print Sizes

The print size in the dropdown menu is the actual size of the paper print.

All prints include an off-white border on all 4 sides between the image and the edge of the paper - it looks fabulous and mimics a mat board without the expense.

If you prefer no border and would like the image to bleed to the edge of the paper, let us know in the Notes section at checkout.

WE DO THINGS WELL

  • High-resolution images professionally restored in-house. Many print companies simply download low-quality digital files & offer cheap or always-on-sale prints that are pixelated and sub standard. It's a churn & burn mentality and it's unfortunate in an industry we love.
  • 30 years' experience in graphic design.
  • 3,600+ verified reviews, average 4.96 stars.
  • 8 metric sizes from A3 to 2A0 + larger custom-size projects. We offer the largest print sizes available.
  • Museum standard paper & pigment inks.
  • Australian-made hardwood timber frames.

PREMIUM QUALITY

PAPER
We print on sustainably-sourced 230gsm acid-free, wood-free, pH-neutral, archival grade fine art paper.

PRINTING
Our prints are giclée prints which means we use a fine art digital printing process that combines pigment based inks with high quality archival paper to achieve a print of superior light fastness and stability.

FRAMING
Our prints are professionally framed to order - Australian made frames, done the right way. Natural, acid-free materials with solid wood frames from local, sustainable sources. All backing boards are acid-free (a vital element that prolongs the life of your art) and all frames arrive ready to hang.

SHIPPING
Our professional printer and framer ships every order in sturdy packing materials ensuring a safe delivery.

COMMON QUESTIONS

All our prints are giclée prints which basically means we use a fine art digital printing process that combines pigment based inks with high quality archival paper to achieve a print of superior light fastness and stability.

Our prints are professionally printed and framed here in Australia by local suppliers who are as pedantic about quality as we are.

We ran a successful graphic design company for 25 years so we know a thing or two about image quality. If we can't restore an image to the quality necessary to enlarge it then we won't add it to the collection.

RETRO WALL PRINTS
We print and frame to order so your print will have been produced just for you.

Please allow for the following production times:

  • 3-5 business days for unframed prints plus delivery.
  • 10 business days for framed prints & canvas plus delivery.

Please note that during busy sale periods these times may vary.

TEA TOWELS & GREETING CARDS
Please allow approx 3 days plus delivery.

Express Post via AusPost is usually within 3 days across Australia.

Courier times will vary depending on the location in Australia.

At Retro Print Merchants (RPM), we get it - sometimes you just change your mind, and that’s totally okay. That’s why we have created the RPM Change-Of-Mind Returns Policy.

This Returns Policy applies to full-priced framed art, framed and stretched canvas, unframed art prints and tea towels.

The RPM Change-Of-Mind Returns Policy does not apply to:

  • any sale items, promotional offers, discounted products, trade or wholesale priced items, bundle offers or greeting cards
  • personalised items such as personalised beach, market or cycling prints or personalised tea towels
  • RPM gift cards or items purchased with an RPM gift card

To start the return process, please email us at enquire@retroprintmerchants.com.au within 14 days of receiving your order and include the following details:

  • The customer’s name the order was placed under
  • The 5-digit RPM order number
  • Your reasons for wishing to return your order

We are unable to accept requests for Change-Of-Mind Returns more than 14 days after customer receipt of order.

Please do not ship returns back to RPM without first receiving an email with instructions and the appropriate return address.

Customers are responsible for the cost of return shipping which should include tracking. Items should be returned in the same condition in which they were received by the customer, in the original packaging with a copy of the RPM order confirmation.

Once shipped you should email your details, order number and tracking number to enquire@retroprintmerchants.com.au. Please ensure returns are shipped to the address we provide you (which may vary) as we cannot be responsible for lost returns, or items damaged during the return shipping process.

Please follow the conditions and instructions above to set your return up for a positive result.

Once your return order is received by us, our production department will assess the condition of the item/s and we will notify you of the outcome.

For Change-Of-Mind Returns, RPM offers store credit or exchange. If the exchange item is of a lower value, the balance will be issued as store credit.

This Change-Of-Mind Returns Policy forms part of the terms and conditions for accessing retroprintmerchants.com.au.

The protective watermark in the centre of our online images will not appear on your item, we promise.

It's only there to stop schmucks (one particularly annoying schmuck in the tea towel industry) from downloading and reproducing our restored designs and original creations.
