Product details
A bookish literary art print of Cup of Gold by John Steinbeck. Set in the Caribbean during the age of buccaneers, this book poster evokes the swashbuckling world of Henry Morgan — pirate, privateer, and later Governor of Jamaica — whose ruthless quest for the fabled city of Panama becomes a meditation on ambition and disillusionment. A striking addition to a home library, study, or gallery wall, perfect for fans of Steinbeck's early work, students of historical fiction, and lovers of maritime adventure.
The Square edition of Cup of Gold 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)

Paper sizes are hard to picture. Below, every size we print is hung on the same living room wall, to scale above a 2.2 m sofa, so you can see the real difference between an A4 and an A2 before you order.
Every size, on a real wall
Shown to scale above a 2.2 m sofa, each frame hung 20 cm above the sofa back.
Every size, in centimetres and inches

Sizes are the printed paper. A frame adds a border around the print, so a framed piece covers a little more wall than the figures above. Prices for each size are shown on the product page.
Where to hang it
On its own
Hang so the middle of the print sits about 145 cm from the floor. That is eye level for most people and the height galleries use.
Above a sofa or bed
Leave 15 to 25 cm between the top of the furniture and the bottom of the frame, and pick a print roughly two thirds the width of the sofa.
A set of three
Keep 5 to 8 cm between frames and line up their middles. Three A4s or three A3s side by side read as one piece.
A gallery wall
Mix A5 and A4 around one larger A3 or A2. Lay it out on the floor first, then hang from the middle outwards.
