The Story

Our favourite Jane Austen novel is about the revival of love with an undercurrent of the complex push and pull of the powerful pressures of persuasion. We see characters attempt to influence others, for both better and worse.

We place the characters by the famous Lyme Bay. Here, Anne is able to loosen the control others have over her and go beyond the roles she has been confined to play so far. Or as one critic puts it "The freedom of Lyme and the sea breezes Anne enjoys there bring some color back to a complexion faded by eight years of lonely, cloistered penance". Our bookish print draws on these themes. We use vibrant colour to depict the freedom offered by the sea breeze in a key scene between Anne and Wentworth rekindling their love. Anne is able to find her independence and add hope to her agony. This results in a vintage book poster perfect for readers and book lovers looking for Jane Austen gifts to curate an authentic bookish decor experience that stays true to the themes of this classic literature. 

Our Jane Austen print uses light academia, cottagecore, and romantic themes to create a bookish classic literature poster - a perfect book lovers gift for any reading corner, college apartment, or indie room decor.

Take Jane Austen's Persuasion beyond the shelf with our watercolour book poster. This book cover poster adds hope to any home décor - a great bookish gift for the book nook of book lovers!
