You don't get much closer to Melbourne's secret identity as Bruce Wayne's Gotham City than the Art Deco Gothic of our Manchester Unity Building. Built in part as an act of benevolence, the Manchester Unity Independent Order of Oddfellows pressed ahead with plans for construction at the outset of Australia's Great Depression, with the hope that providing employment and expressing confidence in Australia's economy could relieve some of the suffering that had begun to affect Melbourne's working people. Tours of the restored and refurbished building are one of the most coveted tickets in Melbourne's annual Melbourne Open House program. 

Harper and Charlie make original retro prints celebrating the culture, architecture and design of Melbourne and Australia.

Inspired by art from the 1950s and 60s, Harper and Charlie use vintage print techniques to achieve their authentic feel. If you look closely you might be able to spot the careful details - slipped registration, slight colour-bleed, or light scuffs in the design - that give these beautiful prints their warmth and character.

All Harper and Charlie prints are designed and made right here in Melbourne using the highest quality commercial grade inks. All prints use premium grade Ilford 180gsm matt paper.

Large prints will be posted carefully rolled in a tube and protected with a layer of brown paper. A4 prints will be posted flat, sandwiched between Kraft board.

Material(s): Commercial grade pigment inks, ILFORD 180gsm matt paper.

Dimensions (cm): Small - 27 x 21 (A4), medium - 40 x 30 (A3), large - 80 x 60 (A1).
