Print on demand prints

We are delighted to be able to offer customisable print-on-demand prints in collaboration with King and McGaw. Each print is made by hand in the UK, which does mean these take a little longer to prepare.   

King and McGaw will dispatch your custom print directly to you from their studio in Sussex. It can take up to four weeks for prints to be created and sent. You will receive a shipping notification via email, when your print has been dispatched.   

Please contact us if you have any questions.

Details

Widely considered to be Oscar Wilde's satirical masterpiece. Jack Worthing is in love with Gwendoline Fairfax, who declares she will not consider marrying a man who is not named Ernest. Jack and his friend, Algernon, try to maintain their fictional personas to escape social obligations.

This is a print of the National Theatre 1982 production poster for The Importance of Being Earnest. The bookshop has collaborated with the Archive team to bring you an exclusive collection of custom prints taken from original National Theatre artworks.

Print sizes

Please note all prints on paper have a white border, surrounding the image.  Our prints are printed on demand and are therefore ineligible for refunds. As each print is hand made to order, there may be slight variations in size.
