We are excited to let you know that we have released our Oliver Twist poster!
Oliver Twist (24×30″ – 61×76.2cm)
- OurOliver Twist poster is created using the first 20 chapters of the book.
Using Dickens entertaining and witty words, our poster recreates the poignant and saddening scene in which Oliver makes his legendary request: “Please sir, I want some more.” Frail and thin, with patched clothing that barely protects his fragile frame, Oliver holds the bowl out in his slight, bird-like, hands. In this work of art, the well-fed and overindulged Master looks down at him in a mixture of shock and scorn; Oliver has just done something no other little orphan had dared to do before. Through use of the creative words from Oliver Twist, this poster gives new life to this well-known scene which is a vital part of Oliver’s story.
Oliver Twist is one of Dickens’ most renowned works and continues to delight and astound readers today. Our illustration brings alive the inner workings of England’s workhouses, and presents you with a constant reminder of the plight of the diminutive Oliver with his untainted soul.

We are very happy to inform you that these posters are now available:
- Romeo and Juliet
- The Three Musketeers
- A Christmas Carol
- A Room with a View
Romeo and Juliet (20×24″ – 50.8x61cm)
This Romeo and Juliet poster is created using the entire text of the book.
Our Romeo and Juliet poster uses the words of one of Shakespeare’s most treasured works to illustrate the pinnacle of the great tragedy of his story. A heartbroken and determined Juliet holds her one and only true love Romeo in one arm and clutches a dagger in the other. The death of her beloved has rendered her heart into two pieces, and she aims at her heart with the dagger with hopes of severing her ties to her painful present and the desire to be united with her Romeo in the afterlife.
Romeo and Juliet is a story of young love that never grows old and our poster captures the quintessence of what it means to fall in love for the first and last time.

The Three Musketeers (24×30″ – 61×76.2cm)
The Three Musketeers poster is created using the first 17 chapters of the book.
This The Three Musketeers poster embraces Alexandre Dumas’ gripping book through the use of his original words to re-create the juxtaposition of the Musketeers and d’Artagnan, standing united, against those who are enemies to their country and themselves. We use the original text from The Three Musketeers to illustrate these four brave men, with arms extended, rapiers joined, and faces turned upwards towards the joining point as a representation of their shared vision.
The Three Musketeers is a book which brings out the adventurer in anyone. It remains as an enthralling story of four men willing to sacrifice anything in their quest to protect their country and remain devoted to the standards of the elite Musketeers. Our illustration magnificently ensnares this concept and brings to life Alexandre Dumas’ riveting novel.

A Christmas Carol (20×24″ – 50.8x61cm)
The A Christmas Carol poster is created using the entire text of the book.
Using Dickens’ charming and stirring words, this art print portrays in a heart-warming way the redemption of the once cantankerous and surly Mr. Scrooge. His experience with the Ghosts has reinvented him into a new man and he embraces the child within as he carries the ecstatic Tiny Tim through a romp in the snow. In this art piece, Tiny Tim, attired in Mr. Scrooge’s oversized top hat, points symbolically ahead, indicating the bright and happy future that now awaits both of them.
A Christmas Carol is a story that has been beloved by generations, and remains as an icon of one of the most famous Christmas tales of all time. Through this illustration, the Christmas spirit of Dickens’ novel is brilliantly captured and presented in a cheerful and endearing manner.

A Room with a View (24×36″ – 61×91.4cm)
The A Room with a View poster is created using the entire text of the book.
In this art print, we embrace the romantic and ethereal moment of George and Lucy’s first tender kiss. Overcome by the beauty of the surrounding nature, the daring George catches the hesitant Lucy unawares with an impulsive and spontaneous kiss. This illustration depicts Lucy leaning slightly away, yet gazing with yearning, shy and desirous at the same time of this gentle demonstration of love. The emotions and personalities of each character are captured in this art print in a truly heart-warming fashion.
A Room with a View is a tale of one young woman’s rebellion against the norms and rules of society; this illustration stops in time a passionate moment and brings it to life in a way that ignites the imagination.

Through our endearing and eye-catching artwork we have definitely breathed a new life into timeless and beloved books. However, November has been a particularly eventful month for us because we’ve been busy re-doing some of our older posters as well as coming up with ideas for new ones! As if this wasn’t enough action, we decided that nothing would go better with a slew of fresh artwork than a sleek and sexy new website and logo!
With the launching of this snazzy new website and logo comes some great news for you; we’ve also updated portions of our business to create a more customer friendly environment.

It looks like New Years is coming a little early at Postertext because it’s out with the old and in with the new this month! With the launch of the new and super cool Postertext website, we’ve also decided to revamp some of our classic posters. After reading all of your suggestions, we decided it was time to give a new face to some of your favorite novels. So, with great flourish (cue drumroll), I give you a presentation of old vs. new. Hopefully, you enjoy these new art prints and find a few to put on your to-buy list!
A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
Old: vs. New:
We decided that we wanted to narrow down the point of visual attention to one of the most important characters in Dickens’ book. This way, it really focuses on one of the saddest scenes in the novel and Carton’s brave approach to death!
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
Old: vs. New:
I think we’ve managed to create an amazing remake! What a spooky illustration of the youthful Dorian and his shameful secret!
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle
Old: vs. New:
No, your eyes are not deceiving you, we’ve made Sherlock Holmes bigger (and better) than before! This way you’ll have a nice, larger-than-life view of the intrepid detective!
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Old: vs. New:
Through this new artwork, we’ve definitely given new life to Shelley’s classic. It still portrays the recognizable monster we all know, but with a bit more soul!
The Time Machine by H.G. Wells
Old: vs. New:
Although I do like the old art print quite a bit, I prefer the new one because it’s much more representative of the novel – and we made sure that you get to see the mysterious Time Traveler in action!
Ulysses by James Joyce
Old: vs. New:
With our beautiful new rendition of Joyce’s book, we’ve given you a portrait of an intimate and poignant moment between two clandestine philosophers!
Dracula by Bram Stoker
Old: vs. New:
We thought that the old Dracula illustration might seem a bit scary and not something you would want to see at midnight while on a stroll to the refrigerator. So we’ve created a new one which is less startling but still captures the eerie feel of Stoker’s famous book!
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
Old: vs. New:
I think the new art print is beautiful! We made sure to make it much more accurate and show the incredible transformation of the vengeful Count!
Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Old: vs. New:
This is a new and clever depiction of the crime being weighed as equal to the punishment! We believe that this new art print brings Dostoyevsky’s novel into a full circle.
As you can see, we’ve been very busy at Postertext working hard to create some great pieces of art. As always, we would love to hear your opinion, so feel free to comment about which ones you like and why!
