The Golem – Giclée Art Print (Book Cover by E. McKnight Kauffer)
The Clio was originally designed by Edward McKnight Kauffer as a book cover in 1925, for L.H. Myers’s second novel of the same name. It’s bursting with surreal charm — tropical plants, a steamship heading down the Amazon, a bird in flight, and even a cheeky crocodile.
The story itself begins as a luxurious river cruise, but things quickly shift. As the Clio sails deeper into the jungle, tensions rise. The group’s easy, privileged world is challenged — and what starts as lighthearted escapism turns into something much more serious. Politics, revolution, and big questions about purpose and meaning begin to stir.
We’ve taken Kauffer’s striking dust jacket design and carefully preserved it as a giclée art print on beautiful museum-quality paper.
