About this poster
A book poster inspired by Three Hearts and Three Lions by Poul Anderson — a pioneering fantasy adventure that bridges myth and modernity. Following Holger Carlsen, a Danish-American engineer transported from World War II into a mythic medieval Europe where he becomes Holger Danske, a paladin sworn to defend Christendom alongside the dwarf Hugi and the swan-may Alianora, this literary art print evokes the clash between Order and Chaos, weaving Norse legend with Carolingian romance. A heroic addition to a home library, study, or reading nook, it makes a wonderful gift for fantasy readers, science fiction enthusiasts, and anyone drawn to tales of chivalry and parallel worlds.
This watercolour illustration of Three Hearts and Three Lions 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

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.
