Hi, I wrote this message before but it doesn’t seem to have appeared here. Can you tell me who did the Brave New World cover art or poster you’ve used here? I can’t find it anywhere and I’d really like to get a poster-size copy. I love that composition!
Thanks,
Lewis

I think I found it on Pinterest some years back. I’m sure you could put it on a USB drive and ask them to print you a copy at a printing store.
