Bad Day At Riverbend Literary Art Print by Chris Van Allsburg

Inspired by Bad Day at Riverbend, this literary art print celebrates Chris Van Allsburg's wonderfully strange picture book in which a quiet frontier town is invaded by mysterious, greasy lines of colour. The poster renders the eerie, storybook world of Sheriff Ned Hardy and his bewildered townsfolk with a nod to the book's ingenious inside-out premise — a colouring-book world seen from within. A playful and thought-provoking addition to a nursery, reading nook, or home library, it makes a wonderful gift for young readers, parents, and fans of Van Allsburg's inventive storytelling.

The Square edition of Bad Day At Riverbend is a literary art print in balanced, symmetrical composition — designed for gallery walls and curated layouts. Its square format makes it elegant in any literary display.

✦ Square-format print with three exclusive colour variations (Style X, Y, Z)
