Australia lithograph, c.1929, designed by Percy Trompf

Percival Albert Trompf (1902-1964), was an Australian commercial artist, best known for his travel posters. Some of his most popular designs depicted historical events, including the construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.[1]

Early life

Percival Albert Trompf was born on 30 May 1902 in Beaufort, Victoria, the ninth child of Henry Alexander Trompf, a fruiterer, and his wife Catherine Amelia,[2] née Elliott.[3] His family later moved to Ballarat, and he was educated at Sebastopol Primary School. He developed an enduring interest in cricket and sang and competed as a member of a church choir.[4] He became one of the earliest students at the Ballarat School of Mines' Ballarat Technical Art School where he left with his certificate in 1917,[5][6][3][7] and where he was remembered in 1930, when his posters were exhibited there, as "one of Ballarat's most notable old boys".[8]

Career

File:Better Farming Train poster.jpg
Percy Trompf (1924) Poster "See the better farming train: a wonderful exhibition accompanied by experts to help the farmer and lady demonstrators in household affairs to assist the farmer's wife: increased production, reduced costs, farm efficiency, improved stock." Publisher: Victorian Railways, Australia

In 1923,[9] Trompf began designing confectionery boxes and wrappings for Giles & Richards, a Melbourne firm of commercial artists,[3] before setting up his own studio in Little Collins Street, painting and designing thousands of advertising posters, usually of 25 ins by 40 ins (64 cm by 102 cm) format, and 24-sheet advertising hoardings, for which Trompf supervised all stages of production, including the lithographic printing.[10] He also designed books and pamphlets throughout his career.

An early client was Charles Holmes (later editor of Walkabout, also a client) chairman of the Victorian Railways Betterment and Publicity Board under Harold Clapp[3][11] who, recognising Frank Pick's success in increasing passenger numbers by 600 million over ten years through advertising for the London Underground using art by Joseph Pennell, Edward McKnight Kauffer and Frank Newbould, hired Trompf for a similar campaign in the 1920s.[12][13][14][15][16][17][18]

By 1931 Trompf was well-known as a poster artist.[19] “Scuu” in Smith’s Weekly of August 8, 1931, asked;

“Does commercial art pay? Well, ask Percy Trompf, who has just had another striking “Eat More Oranges” poster accepted by Harold Clapp to brighten Victorian railway stations. So many of Percy’s posters are already on railway hoardings that many people believe he is on the permanent payroll. The A.N.T.A. have also adopted his designs—notably the Landing of Captain Cook and the Sydney Harbour Bridge—while the Orient S.S. Co. has just awarded him first prize in the competition to improve its posters”[20]

Clients included the Canadian Pacific Railway,[21] Bryant & May, Palmolive, and the magazine Walkabout established March 25, 1929 by its parent body the Australian National Travel Association.[22] For the latter Trompf produced posters targeted at a limited number overseas who could afford travel, and their designs and contact reflect this niche market.[23] By 1930, 100,000 posters had been distributed.[24]

World War II

In May 1942 he enlisted in the Royal Australian Air Force and was commissioned as a pilot in June.[3] Trompf served mostly at Milne Bay, Papua New Guinea, and worked as a camouflage officer.[3] He was demobilized in February 1948, with the rank of flying officer.[3]

Postwar

Returning to business after the war, Trompf received little work from A.N.T.A and the Victorian Railways. His clientele reduced during the 1950s to the Queensland Government Tourist Bureau,[25] the Commonwealth Railways, and Victorian Education Department for road safety posters. He produced also some book covers, illustration and design, including Under southern skies, on the Dandenong Ranges, Mornington Peninsula and Gippsland for the Australian Publicity Council.[26][27]

Poster design declined in the 1960s as magazines and travel institutions increasingly used more affordable colour photography rather than specially commissioning graphic illustrations, for the sake of faster turn-around and for more persuasive realism.[28]

Reception

Trompf enjoyed a growing reputation alongside other poster artists James Northfield, Walter Jardine, Eileen Mayo, Gert Sellheim and C. Dudley Wood. In their 1940 report on the first annual show of the Australian Commercial and Industrial Artists’ Association in Sydney, The Bulletin characterised him as "one of the few poster men whose signature is well known."[19]

The colour lithography that Trompf used produced bold, simplified realism in an Art Deco style,[29][30] with wide appeal, especially during the Great Depression. Posters exhorted Australians to travel by rail, to eat more fruit to the benefit of the country's struggling primary producers and, against competition from cars and buses contributing to unsustainable rail service deficits, they sought promote diversity of purposes for travel that might provide new sources of revenue.[31] They promoted the simple joys of sun-worship,[32] surfing[33] and bushwalking,[34] which were both then becoming popular alongside a general interest in bodily fitness then pervasive with the young,[35] famously celebrated in Trompf's best-known poster simply titled Australia.[36]

In recent evaluations, Gilfedder, in analysing, as a sample, the visual rhetoric of Trompf's poster for the British market featuring Captain Cook's landing at Botany Bay to invite the traveler to 'Discover Australia', concludes that such travel posters were early instances of 'country branding'.[37] Symes perceives that railway posters of this period using state-of-the-art techniques of the new field of commercial art developed Victoria's tourist geography, labelling, locating, visualising and imbuing places and regions with specific recreational and leisure attributes[38] and Pocock shows this responsibility of the poster is true too, on a whole-of-Australia scale, for the Great Barrier Reef as one of the most significant tourist destinations.[39] Dann[40] and Barnes[41] show how tourism marketing professionals including Trompf created a visual language of modernity, promotion and consumerism.[42]

Barnes cites Trompf’s Commonwealth Railway poster as applying an American aesthetic in depicting Central Australia in which North American pueblos are replaced with Australian indigenous ‘Arunta' men. Juxtaposing modern, white, explorers-cum-tourists with 'primitive natives’ men each in formulaic groupings, positions and postures the colonial figures and their vehicles given centre and stage-right to symbolise progress, while Aboriginal men are diminished in scale and backgrounded to represent their servility and symbolic position in the past.[43][44]

The nostalgic attractiveness and historical interest of Trompf's posters endure; they are frequently included in public exhibitions,[45] they have become collectible national treasures[46][35] and they fetch up to $A12,000 at auction.[47][48]

Personal life

On 14 May 1932, Trompf married Vera Johns at the Methodist Church, Armadale, Victoria, Melbourne, and they had two daughters.[3][3] His nephew (b.1940) was religious historian Professor Garry W. Trompf.[49][50]

Trompf died of a renal infection on 17 July 1964 in Heidelberg, Melbourne.[3]
