Early 20th century travel posters capture the era’s aesthetic sensibility. Two designers led the way promoting Australia to the world in the interwar period. James Northfield was best known for his work with the Australian National Travel Association, often spruiking the merits of train travel throughout the continent, appealing to the beauty of the Australian wilderness. Percival Albert Trompf painted thousands of posters for companies including Bryant & May Pty Ltd and Palmolive Co Ltd, as well as the magazine Walkabout. His most popular designs depicted historical events, such as the building of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Works from both designers will be auctioned at New York’s Swann Auction Galleries this week. Here’s a selection of the Australian offerings – and some international ones

What is an original vintage poster .
Originating from Paris, Vintage Posters are considered to be the original form of advertising used from the late 1800s until the mid-1900s. Posters were designed to be pasted in public places to advertise a product or event, with no intent to last hundreds of years. The ones available today were those that were not displayed either because of the limited number of extras made exclusively for collectors or because they were packed away in storage and forgotten about, until recently.
However, they are more than just forgotten pieces of art. These posters are timeless mementos that evoke a sense of nostalgia for some, while for others they signify a pivotal shift in advertising and culture.
They have not only grown to become coveted art forms, showcased in museums and places of significance across the globe but are also now a widely popular focal point in hotels, restaurants and homes, aimed at creating a unique and unforgettable atmosphere. A deciding factor for many is the personal meaning attached to the poster, be it related to a sport one loves, a place they’ve been or a special life event. Browse our collection of Vintage Posters online, as there is something for everyone.

Why buy Vintage Posters in Australia from Letitia Morris?
We source our original posters from Paris and the extended regions of France. After the poster has been sourced and shipped to Australia, the poster is linen-backed onto high-quality canvas linen, which adds to the preservation and conservation of the piece.
We work with Fini Frames, official framers for the National Gallery of Victoria, to ensure our clients are guaranteed the highest quality hand-crafted, archival-style framing available. Letitia Morris Gallery offers a free delivery service on all our framed, large-format posters to inner Melbourne locations.
Welcome to Letitia Morris, your gateway to some of the most sought-after Vintage Posters in Australia
Art meets nostalgia with our treasure trove of Original Vintage Posters that are not just art, but pieces of history. We are a family-run business that has been operating since 1992, and we pride ourselves on our collection of Vintage Posters in Australia . These are not just carefully selected unique pieces but our posters are also in excellent condition, a testament to the eras they represent. We offer the most diverse collection of posters and are also the first French Vintage Poster gallery in Melbourne, with some rare finds to our name. So if you’re in Melbourne, visit Letitia Morris Gallery located at 1158 High Street, Armadale or shop our extensive collection of Vintage Posters online . We ship internationally, so you can add to your collection, irrespective of which corner of this world you are based in.
Our collection at the Letitia Morris Gallery comprises some of the biggest names in graphic design from the 20th Century, including Villemot , Savignac , Gruau and Morvan . Each artist possesses their own unique and distinguishable style, so there is something for everyone. Our rich compilation of art posters includes Bally Prints , Australian Vintage Posters , Art Deco Posters , Signed Lithographs , Vintage Travel Posters and more.
Our collection of posters are original lithographs. A lithograph is produced and pressed by hand, using stone or metal plates to paper to produce commercially reproduced images. Closely resembling a painting, lithographs are unique, which adds to the appeal. If a lithograph is in excellent condition and production numbers are low, this can create a sense of exclusivity and increase the value of a poster if circulation decreases.
At Letitia Morris, our mission is to offer an unparalleled selection of posters, ensuring that every enthusiast and collector finds something that resonates with their taste and interests. In addition to our regular services, we understand that our clients have diverse schedules and needs. To accommodate this, we offer private appointments after hours. These appointments provide a more intimate and focused experience, allowing clients to explore our collection in a quiet, personal setting. It's an ideal opportunity for those who wish to take their time examining pieces, seek expert advice, or simply prefer a more private setting for their viewing. Contact us today and get one step closer to adding the next poster to your collection.
Our entire range can be viewed and purchased online, alternatively Letitia Morris Gallery is located at 1158 High Street, Armadale.

Since the dawn of the twentieth century, travel posters have been crafted by renowned artists to bolster both national and local tourism initiatives. Spearheaded by government tourism and travel entities - railways, airlines, and cruise companies advertised destinations to domestic and international audiences.
Collaborations with Kodak also played a significant role in enhancing tourism campaigns - the 'Take a Kodak' catchphrase propagated the concept that travel experiences were worth immortalizing on film.
Today, years later, travel posters serve as excellent retro wall decor for both private homes and public work environments. If you're looking to add a touch of vibrancy and personality to your walls, look no further than our online poster collections.
