Through typography, colour and composition, it captures the optimism and visual language of mid-century tourism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition has been professionally reproduced from the original artwork with careful attention to proportion, tone and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs part of the Lost Manly Archive, it functions as both artwork and historical document — preserving a particular moment in Manly’s harbour-to-ocean story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdition Options\u003cbr\u003eOpen Restored Edition\u003cbr\u003eProfessionally reproduced on museum-grade matte archival stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in:\u003cbr\u003e20″ × 16″\u003cbr\u003e24″ × 20″\u003cbr\u003e30″ × 20″\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimited Restored Heritage Edition (100 Only)\u003cbr\u003eIndividually numbered\u003cbr\u003eCertificate of Authenticity included\u003cbr\u003eProduced on premium archival stock\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce sold out, this numbered edition will not be reprinted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrint Details\u003cbr\u003e• Museum-grade archival paper designed to resist yellowing\u003cbr\u003e• Giclée printing for stable colour and fine detail\u003cbr\u003e• Matte finish to minimise glare and retain surface texture\u003cbr\u003e• Multiple size options for flexible framing\u003cbr\u003e• Intended for indoor display\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare\u003cbr\u003eIf dust accumulates, gently wipe with a clean, dry cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"20 x 16 \/ Matte","offer_id":47816726610179,"sku":"31013940413217837120-3","price":99.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24 x 20 \/ Matte","offer_id":47816726544643,"sku":"31013940413217837120-2","price":129.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 x 20 inches \/ 76.2cm x 50.8cm \/ Matte","offer_id":47816726479107,"sku":"31013940413217837120-1","price":169.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0560\/3088\/8099\/files\/20251222191048-1f0df69e-ca52-630a-a08d-02589bdbb11a.png?v=1774781565","url":"https:\/\/www.lostmanly.com.au\/products\/seven-miles-from-sydney-a-thousand-miles-from-care-restored-manly-vintage-travel-poster-copy-1","provider":"Lost Manly Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
