About this poster
A book poster inspired by Death of a Ghost by Margery Allingham — the beloved Queen of Crime whose elegant mysteries defined the Golden Age of detective fiction. Albert Campion navigates the bohemian art world of Bloomsbury, where the posthumous unveiling of a painter's final works becomes entangled with murder, forgery, and family secrets. This book cover poster evokes the glamour and intrigue of 1930s London's artistic circles, honouring Allingham's masterful blend of wit, social observation, and detection. A sophisticated addition to a home library, study, or reading nook, it makes a wonderful gift for mystery enthusiasts, fans of Golden Age crime fiction, and anyone drawn to stories where art and murder collide. This rendering of Death of a Ghost reads like a book cover poster pulled from an imagined first edition, all refined lettering and pared-back composition. Margery Allingham's story of a posthumous exhibition turned deadly suits the restraint here, the typography doing justice to a plot built on forgery, class tension and quiet detection.
This Modern Minimalist edition captures Death of a Ghost as a book cover poster in refined contemporary form — typography-forward, evocative, reminiscent of a first edition reimagined. A statement piece for book-cover art collectors.

What size poster should I buy?
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.

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.
