We're once again proud to collaborate with No. 1 Royal Crescent in Bath on their latest exhibition, The Most Tiresome Place in the World: Jane Austen & Bath, marking the 250th anniversary of Austen's birth.
The exhibition explores Jane Austen's complicated relationship with the city, drawing from her letters and novels to reveal a more nuanced view of Bath than is often portrayed. To support the storytelling, we designed and printed a bespoke range of wall vinyls and information plaques that are displayed throughout the historic Georgian townhouse. These carefully crafted pieces not only bring Austen's words vividly to life, such as her famous description of Bath as “all vapour, shadow, smoke and confusion”, but also seamlessly integrate with the period interiors of No. 1 Royal Crescent, enhancing the immersive visitor experience.
Each vinyl and plaque was developed to reflect the elegance of the space while conveying the historical and literary context behind the objects and themes on display. From early manuscripts to scenes of social life and emotional dislocation, the exhibition is enriched by this visual storytelling, helping visitors connect more deeply with Austen's time in Bath.
The result is a sensitive and striking interpretation that blends design with heritage, and we're honoured to have played a role in bringing it to life.
You can catch this exhibition from 5 July to 2 November 2025
