ROC_Vintage_Poster

A vintage poster style LoRA inspired by Republic of China (ROC) 1930s commercial posters, Shanghai calendar posters, and classic lithographic printing aesthetics.

This LoRA recreates the visual language of early 20th century Chinese posters:

• vintage commercial illustration
• hand-painted lithograph style
• old paper texture
• Republican China atmosphere
• Shanghai retro advertising aesthetics

The goal is not historical reconstruction, but a creative exploration of an imagined visual world from the 1930s.

🖥️ Training Details

Hardware

Training was performed on:

• GPU: NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell 96GB

Configuration

• Base Model: Qwen Image Text-to-Image (original version)
• LoRA Rank: 32
• Batch Size: 8
• Steps: 3000

---

⚠️ Important: Base Model Compatibility

This LoRA was trained with:

Qwen Image Text-to-Image (first release)

It was NOT trained with Qwen Image 2512.

Qwen Image versions have significant differences in architecture and behavior.
Using this LoRA with other versions may produce different results.

For the best experience, please use the original Qwen Image Text-to-Image model.

🕰️ A Small Historical Note

A small problem with generating images from the 1930s:

Most of us did not experience Shanghai in the 1930s firsthand.

(I haven't either.)

So when you ask:

"Generate a realistic street scene in Shanghai in 1935"

there is no single correct answer.

The result depends on:

• your imagination
• your prompt
• the model's interpretation

Feel free to edit prompts, experiment with different descriptions, or ask an AI assistant for help.

After all, imagining the past is also a creative journey.

🖼️ Examples

The following images were generated with this LoRA.

The prompts below are the original prompts used for generation.
Feel free to copy, modify, and experiment with them.

🚀 Inference Example

• This example loads the full Qwen-Image model in BF16 without quantization, CPU offloading, or inference acceleration. A high-memory CUDA GPU is required.
• An 80 GB GPU is recommended for reliable inference; GPUs with 48 GB of VRAM may work depending on the software environment, image resolution, and available system memory. Most consumer GPUs will require memory-saving techniques that are not included in this baseline example.
• This is a baseline example for reproducing the LoRA with the original, unquantized Qwen-Image pipeline. Memory-saving and accelerated configurations are intentionally not included.

This LoRA was trained for the original Qwen/Qwen-Image model.
