Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare's tale of two star-crossed lovers, has entranced readers across the centuries. The beauty of the language perfectly encapsulates the all-consuming power of true love despite the boundaries, and is still considered today as one of the finest evocations of emotion in the English language. This Spineless Classics print features the simple yet striking motif of the dagger in the heart, symbolising the poison of the families' feud that destroys the lives of the two young lovers. The print is laid out in prose form, with a paragraph for each speech.
This contemporary print breathes new life into the often-used words of Shakespeare and would be a great choice for any Shakespearean fan as a plain but powerful homage to the text. With the play so universally popular, it is also great simply as an unusual work of art to add a quirky touch to any room.
Dimensions unframed: 50cm (width) x 70cm (height)
Spineless Classics - A Contemporary Twist on a Classic
Spineless Classics are an innovative design company that believe just because a book has become part of the background of your life figuratively, doesn’t mean that it can’t become a reality too. This was the idea behind their collection of prints inspired by some of the great works of literature that use, quite literally, the complete text to make up an image.
Each image has the full text printed in 4 point type, perfectly legible to the naked eye for those with 20/20 vision or with light magnification for those without. The image is created without shading or removing any of the words, so the complete text can still be viewed.They are printed on high-quality satin finish paper using state-of-the-art technology so the words appear with crisp precision and won’t fade, while the paper is unaffected by glare so it can be placed anywhere in the room.
Prints are sent out in cardboard tubes so that they arrive securely. They can be displayed either unframed as they are sold or mounted, as they are produced in sizes that can be easily framed. Each image is truly a work of art to be treasured and will surely provide a talking point for years to come. They are a design that will prove as timeless as the texts that inspired them.
