Common Minke Whale Osteology Men's / Unisex T-Shirt

Everybody just loves whales, but let's be real, they're all about the blue whales and the killer whales and the whales with probably really good publicists. Where is the love, I ask you, for the grand and beautiful minke whale? They're absolutely adorable and they have a magnificent baleen! If you also can appreciate the finer qualities of this beautiful whale, and would like to showcase just how weird whale anatomy actually is, you're going to need this fine garment. The incredible vintage illustrative etching is by artist Edouard d'Alton, and depicts in stunning detail the skeletal anatomy and absolutely wild skull detail of a common minke whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata). It's one of d'Alton's many gorgeous pieces from the 1821 osteological masterpiece Die vergleichende Osteologie. Is that the best collection of scientific illustrations ever published? In our opinion, it's got to be right up there. Sometimes we dream about it at night, and can almost smell its pages.

This is the perfect piece for marine scientists, whale lovers, vulture culturists, bone collectors, osteologists, animal anatomists, zoologists, any of the ologists really, and people who just want to start a conversation by making people ask, "Hey, what's that magnificent collection of bones on your shirt?" It's a deeply underrated whale, that's what it is.

This comfy t-shirt is made of 100% ringspun cotton (except for the heather grey color, which is 10% polyester). It runs true to size, and comes pre-laundered from the manufacturer to prevent shrinkage.
