The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman Publication

Originally published in nine volumes, the first two in 1759, this self-narrated tale of fictional character Tristram Shandy’s life is one of the forerunners of contemporary narrative styles. Laurence Sterne’s original text played with printing techniques which were available in his time, but over time and many editions it has lost much of its visual spirit and humour. Publisher Visual Editions approached us to bring the story back to life, and through researching and growing to love the book, we designed a visually rich, playful edition, which has inspired a new and shared Shandymania.

The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman Poster

“…the excellency of the nose is in direct proportion to the excellency of the wearer’s fancy…” Chap. XXXVIII, Vol. III. Our poster, originally designed as a bookcover, was inspired by Sterne’s fascination with perfect noses, and was produced in a limited edition.
