1940s Manly Ferry Restored Travel Poster Edition.
Seven Miles from Sydney a Thousand Miles from Care.
This celebrated Manly ferry travel poster captures the optimism and maritime romance of Sydney Harbour’s tourism golden age.
Featuring the iconic South Steyne ferry, this artwork is based on the classic mid-century travel poster painting by John Alcot. Originally designed to promote ferry travel from Circular Quay to Manly, this artwork became part of Australia’s coastal identity — bold colour, dynamic movement, and the promise of escape.
The poster captures the optimism and seaside charm of Manly’s ferry era and remains one of the most recognisable images associated with the beach suburb.
This edition has been carefully restored to preserve the integrity of the original design while enhancing clarity and print quality for modern archival reproduction.
A piece of Australian graphic design history.
