ABOUT THE ART
A rarely seen vintage travel poster for Victorian Railways, circa 1929, by well-known Australian commercial artist of the era Percival Albert (Percy) Trompf (1902-1964).
Number 63 in the iconic Victorian Railways poster series, this striking work depicts a busy beach scene encouraging the holidaying public to "take a day at the seaside - go down by train!" Beautifully restored, this poster is a classic example of Percy Trompf's detailed and evocative works.
Trompf was born in Beaufort, Victoria, and educated at Sebastopol State School and the Ballarat Technical Art School. In 1923 he joined a Melbourne firm of commercial artists and designed chocolate boxes and wrappings for A. W. Allen Pty Ltd. Later, from his studio at Little Collins Street, he painted and designed thousands of advertising posters for clients such as Bryant & May (matches) and Palmolive (soaps).

- We print on 230gsm acid-free, wood-free, pH-neutral, archival matte paper using premium archival pigment inks. In a nutshell, the paper is top notch and the high-level digital printing results in superior colour saturation.
- Our 8 print sizes fit standard metric frames, eg. an A3 print will fit a standard A3 frame.
- All prints include an off-white printed border that sits between the image and the edge of the paper. We think it looks fabulous and mimics a mat board but without the expense. If you don't want a border please let us know in the Notes section at checkout.
Off-white printed border widths:
A3 - 15mm; A2 - 21mm; B2 - 25mm; A1 - 30mm; B1 - 35mm; A0 - 42mm; B0 - 50mm; 2A0 - 59mm.

- Our professionalĀ framers prefer cast acrylic rather than glass: it is lightweight, virtually unbreakable, has greater optical clarity than glass and provides your print with long term protection from harmful UV rays.
- Our framers will dispatch direct to you in professional packaging.
- We do not ship framed prints outside Australia.
- Note: Framed prints should not be hung in strong direct sun due to moisture in the archival pigment inks. If you have a sunny spot we suggest you opt for a stretched canvasĀ or a canvas floating frame instead.
- We print on Bauhaus bright white canvas 380gsm which has a superior bright white matte surface with perfect colour control and clear texture.
- The canvas is a cotton/polyester blend. Polyester is added to give greater tension across the image so it doesnāt sag over time.
- The printed canvasĀ is then stretched onto a pine stretcher bar which is strong, durable and from planted forests so environmentally friendly.
- All finishing materials used are museum grade and acid free.
- Our framerĀ will dispatch direct to you in professional packaging.
- We do not ship stretched canvas prints outside Australia.
- The top end of our range - la crĆØme de la crĆØme!
- We printĀ as per Stretched Canvas above and our professional framer then frames in your choice of timber placing a 5mm gap between the canvas and frame.
- This contemporary, popularĀ style gives the illusion that your canvas picture is āfloatingā within the frame.
-
Frames are delivered ready to hang.
- Frames measure 10mm on theĀ face and 45mm on the side.
- White oak, natural oak,Ā chocolateĀ oak and blackĀ oak timbers available.
- Our framerĀ will dispatchĀ direct to you in professional packaging.
- We do not ship framed canvas prints outside Australia.
