Title: As a lover of Shakespeare, I love this poster.
Review: I am a high school English teacher and I bought this poster for my classroom. I love Shakespeare, and am always looking for Shakespeare paraphernalia that I can decorate my room with. This poster was a great choice. The poster is on a very heavy card stock, and is bright and vibrant. The artist signature at the bottom is a great touch. The poster lets my students find the insult they need. I have told them before that if they are going to cures in class they have to curse like Shakespeare and this poster helps them do just that. I have it posted right by the door of the classroom and always catch students taking a glance and grabbing an insult on their way out the door. And, it gets them asking questions when they catch the title of the play that the insult is from. The will occasionally ask me what certain Shakespeare play is about after seeing an insult form that play on the poster. An awesome product!

Title: High-quality, lovely poster, my friend loved it!
Review: It's beautiful! A nice large print on stiff paper - the kind you'll have to weigh down with a couple heavy books to get to flatten. The colors are bright, the printing is crisp - no weird blurry lines or strange overlap for the mixed colors. The quotations themselves are hilarious. I gave it as a gift for a literary friend and she's a huge fan, she's looking into buying from this company for her own friends later. I'm super pleased!

Title: Great gift!
Review: Got this for my S.O. for Xmas and when he opened it, we spent 10 minutes saying all the insults in terrible English accents and laughing about it. My only complaint is the color. I don't mind the colors of the themes of insults - it is meant to be sort of like a flow chart - but the background color. It's an odd, pale yellow. Almost parchment, and it made it really difficult to find a matching frame. I ended up just getting a plain black one, because I couldn't find one to match the flat brown color in the middle either. But if you're not bothered by such petty things, it's a very clever and unique gift.

Title: Great Quality and Fun Humor
Review: High quality paper; thicker than your ordinary poster, does not wrinkle easily, nice smooth top finish. We love how the insults are categorized and reference their play of origin. The colors are as vibrant and beautiful as they appear on screen. Came rolled with a protective sheet of paper, in a heavy tube that would be hard to crush, and was then packed in an Amazon box and delivered reliably as usual. We would confidently buy from Charley Chartwell again.

Title: A conversation piece.
Review: Was lucky enough to receive the last poster! Ordered it as a 45th birthday gift. She loves it!It's of high quality and looks fantastic framed. It's so cool a friend asked where he could get one. Unfortunately Amazon is either out of stock or it won't be printed again. That's depressing!Please reorder. Keep this in stock and available for everyone.It IS the best one offered.Highly recommended for everyone.

Review: It’s a great concept but the poster wasn’t a clear print. It looked like a small resolution image blown up too large. It’s still readable, but disappointing.

Review: This does not look like the poster shown! The print is not clear! Very difficult to read, and I have good vision. This is supposed to be a gift for my father-in-law. I can’t give this to him. I’m incredibly disappointed.
