Australia Orient Line

This original vintage travel poster designed by the esteemed Australian artist Percy Trompf likely in the early 1930s, serves as a captivating promotion for Orient Line voyages to Australia.

Featuring three Australian horsemen gazing out from a hilltop vista, the poster proudly highlights the Orient Line's impressive 20,000-ton ships. Percival Albert Trompf, renowned for his distinctive Art Deco style and innovative use of flat color, cemented his legacy as one of Australia's most prolific poster designers, particularly in promoting the nation's tourist industry.

Established in the late 18th century, the Orient Steam Navigation Company, commonly known as the Orient Line, forged a significant maritime legacy. Over time, it became affiliated with P&O, ultimately being fully absorbed into the company in 1966.

Despite its age, this poster remains in very good condition, with some minor restorations and professionally mounted on linen to preserve its integrity. While displaying minor signs of wear and fold marks, it exudes a timeless charm that is sure to captivate viewers.
