Return Fare - Victorian Public Transport Tickets 1850s to 1980s - Two Colour Screen Print
Created as part of the Creative in Residence 2025 at the Victorian Archives Centre, Public Record Office Victoria.
This poster features various Victorian public transport tickets, from the 1850s to the 1980s. Inspiration comes from trades of the past, including letterpress printing and sign writing. Misregistration of the two colours is a feature of the design, and no two prints are the same.
Designed and hand screen printed in Melbourne. Frame not included.
Stock: Watermarked 250gsm Arches Rives cold pressed 100% cotton with deckled edges.
Ink: Water based neon pink and alpine green.
Size: 76cm x 57cm.
CARE: Store out of direct sunlight, in an album or glass frame, to protect the print. Avoid touching the printed surface (ie: handle with cotton gloves or on the edges). Adhesive tape may change the fastness of the print colour & quality.
SHIPPING: Shipped flat with sturdy cardboard backing or in a heavy duty tube.
