My Uncle Oswald Book Watercolour Illustration by Roald Dahl

A minimalist book poster inspired by My Uncle Oswald, Roald Dahl's wickedly comic novel of audacious con artistry and bedroom escapades. This literary art print channels the irreverent spirit of Oswald Hendryks Cornelius — gentleman rogue, epicurean, and orchestrator of the most scandalous eugenics plot in literary history. A delightfully subversive addition to a home library, study, or gallery wall for fans of Dahl's adult work, book club members who relish sharp satire, and readers who appreciate comedy with a mischievous edge.

This watercolour illustration of My Uncle Oswald steps out of the gallery and into the story — soft colour washes behind the title, with crisp lettering emerging through a brushed halo. Romantic, atmospheric, a little dreamy. Book illustration art made for reading nooks, nurseries, and walls that quietly wish they were a library.

✦ Available in three paper finishes: matte, satin, or gloss
