Maurier - Edward Penfield","description":"\u003cp\u003eEdward Penfield's 1897 poster 'The Martian' is a striking example of American Art Nouveau, advertising a novel with bold colours and simplified forms. A vintage literary print perfect for adding character to any room.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEdward Penfield's 'The Martian' is a captivating example of late 19th-century American poster art, showcasing the artist's mastery of simplified forms and bold colour palettes. Created in 1897 for Harper \u0026amp; Brothers, this lithograph served as a promotional advertisement for a novel by D.V. Maurier, likely Daphne du Maurier's grandfather, George du Maurier. The image depicts a man kneeling at an open window, gazing upwards with an expression of wonder or perhaps apprehension. The colour scheme, dominated by blues, yellows, and browns, is both striking and harmonious, characteristic of the Art Nouveau aesthetic. Penfield's design reflects the influence of Japanese woodblock prints, a popular source of inspiration for artists during this period. The flat planes of colour and the emphasis on strong outlines contribute to the poster's visual impact, making it easily legible from a distance. As a fine art print, 'The Martian' brings a touch of vintage charm and literary history to any interior. Its bold design and intriguing subject matter make it a conversation piece, ideal for adding character to a study, living room, or hallway. The print's clean lines and balanced composition ensure it complements a variety of decor styles, from modern minimalist to traditional eclectic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/poisson-et-algues-papier-peint-pigeon-et-pavots-bordure-de-vitrail-maurice-pillard-verneuil\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePoisson et Algues, Papier Peint \/ Pigeon et Pavots, Bordure de Vitrail - Maurice Pillard Verneuil — Maurice Pillard Verneuil\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/fruit-alphonse-mucha\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eFruit - Alphonse Mucha — Alphonse Mucha\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/collections\/edward-penfield\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMore by Edward Penfield →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Edward Penfield","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":56988372304207,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":56988372369743,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":56988372402511,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":56988372500815,"sku":null,"price":290.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":56988372533583,"sku":null,"price":290.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":56988372566351,"sku":null,"price":450.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":56988372631887,"sku":null,"price":450.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":56988372664655,"sku":null,"price":450.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":56988372697423,"sku":null,"price":590.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":56988372730191,"sku":null,"price":590.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":56988372795727,"sku":null,"price":590.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":56988372828495,"sku":null,"price":730.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":56988372894031,"sku":null,"price":730.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":56988372926799,"sku":null,"price":730.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":56988373156175,"sku":null,"price":130.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":56988373188943,"sku":null,"price":170.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":56988373254479,"sku":null,"price":380.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/file_dc666802-3b9c-416a-bb55-be1c97e10dd6.jpg?v=1777553500","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/en-nz\/products\/the-martian-by-d-v-maurier-edward-penfield","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
