Julia Trigg collects vintage ephemera and uses it to create contemporary fine art prints, full of authentic texture and detail. Scanned from Julia's vintage French school flash cards featuring cream numbers on black card. The distressed marks due to the age add to their retro charm. Julia created this abstract composition using sections of the numbers, playing with the positive and negative spaces.
Our Stylist Says
I really like this king & mcgaw old school number cards framed print for its nostalgic charm and classic design. It works well in eclectic, vintage-inspired, or modern urban interiors, especially when paired with other monochrome accessories or graphic decor. The 42 x 35cm size makes it versatile for adding visual interest above a console table, in a gallery wall, or as a focal piece in a smaller space. For styling tips, consider pairing it with minimalist frames or contrasting textures like raw wood or concrete to highlight its graphic appeal. It’s a straightforward, easy-to-integrate piece that adds a touch of playful retro style while staying versatile enough to suit various colour schemes and design schemes.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
