Some Do Not... Book Watercolour Illustration by Ford Madox Ford

Inspired by Some Do Not..., this literary art print honours Ford Madox Ford's sprawling portrait of an English gentleman caught between duty and desire during the First World War. The book poster evokes the strained marriage of Christopher Tietjens and the moral rigidity of a vanishing social order. A thoughtful addition to a home library, study, or gallery wall for readers of classic literature, English teachers, and devotees of early twentieth-century fiction exploring love, class, and the upheaval of war.

This watercolour illustration of Some Do Not... 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
