About This Print
A New World, Ruled by Apes
This striking art print captures the monumental confrontation at the heart of the 1968 cinematic masterpiece, Planet of the Apes. Styled after modern collectible screen prints, this high-quality poster transforms the iconic sci-fi landscape into a breathtaking piece of wall art, utilizing deep blues, crimsons, and vibrant pinks to create an atmosphere of alien dread and discovery.
The Colossal Gaze of Authority
The design is dominated by the colossal, intricately detailed faces of the ruling Apes—a silent monument carved into the rocky terrain, establishing their overwhelming authority. Below them, three tiny figures in astronaut suits traverse a blood-red river, symbolizing their precarious and dangerous journey into a society where man is subservient to ape. The contrast in scale emphasizes the shock and fear experienced by Taylor (Charlton Heston) and his crew.

After It Arrives
How to Frame & Display Your Print
Four simple steps, tube to wall — no tools, no specialist knowledge.
-
Unroll & Let It Relax
Remove from the tube and lay face-down on a clean flat surface for 20–30 minutes. The 200 GSM matte stock self-relaxes — any shipping curl releases without heat or moisture.
-
Pick a Standard Frame
Every size matches a standard off-the-shelf frame — IKEA HOVSTA, Target Threshold, Amazon Basics. An 18×24" drops in directly. No trimming, no custom framing.
-
Glass Is Optional
Our matte finish eliminates glare, so hanging without glass often shows more detail — particularly deep blacks and shadow gradients. If you prefer glass, use UV-protective acrylic.
-
Avoid Direct UV Sunlight
Archival pigment inks are rated for 75+ years indoors. Choose a wall with indirect or diffused natural light for the longest possible display life.
