An Australian icon is born

1948 was a landmark year for national identity. The first Holden, the 48-215, rolled off the production line as Australia's very own car, capturing the public imagination and the open road in equal measure. Just as significant, the new Nationality and Citizenship Act created the legal status of "Australian citizen" for the first time, distinct from simply being a British subject. High in the mountains, work also began on what would become one of the country's great engineering feats, the Snowy Mountains Scheme. Give the gift of this remarkable year — beautifully captured in a personalised newspaper front page that brings 1948 back to life.

Key Highlights for This Year

  • The first Holden, the 48-215, rolled off the production line
  • The Nationality and Citizenship Act created the status of "Australian citizen"

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change the headline?

Yes - you're welcome to reword the headline. Our only recommendation is to keep the total number of characters similar to avoid the font getting too big or too small and not looking great.

Can I change the personalisation after ordering?

You'll receive a digital artwork the next business day.

If you need to make any tweaks let us know and we'll adjust your file.

Do I need to upload a black and white photo?

No - a colour photo can be uploaded. We will convert it to black and white when we prepare your file so it's similar to the photos shown in the product listing.

Do I need a scanner?

No. If you need to digitalise an old photo, a photograph taken of the original with a smartphone is a great option if you don't have access to a scanner.

Remember to take your photo in a room with good natural light to help avoid shadows.

How many pixels should my photo be?

Ideally 1,200 pixels x 1,600 pixels or larger

Is a personal message required?

No - the personal message at the bottom of the print is completely optional.

My old photo has some dust and scratches, will it work?

Yes. We touch up older photos in Photoshop at no charge as part of our service.
