This Flatland poster is created using the entire text of the book.

In keeping with the depiction of Flatland given in Abbott's novella, our poster uses text from the book to delineate a simple pentagon - the shape that most Flatlanders call home. As polygons with fewer sides are ruled as too hazardous due to the sharpness of their angles, pentagons symbolize a safe haven in this limited and often dangerous world.

The geometric precision of this elegant design gives this poster an instant aesthetic appeal - yet, reflecting the hidden depths of Abbott's unique story, when viewed more closely, that simplicity is revealed to contain the entire tale of Flatland in all its rich complexity.
