Crested Serpent Eagle Osteology Vintage Illustration Heavyweight Sweatshirt
Crested Serpent Eagle Osteology Vintage Illustration Heavyweight Sweatshirt
Before you wear this stunning garment, there are a few things you should know about Crested Serpent-Eagles (Spilornis cheela), in case someone approaches you wanting to swap bird facts. The most important thing is that their "crest" often looks sort of like a silly toupee. The second thing is that... nope, we can't stop thinking about the toupee. They just look so dopey. But their skeletons sure do look amazing. This full skeletal view is accompanied by studies of the skulls of a species of fish-owl of the genus Ketupa, and a gyrfalcon.
This incredible illustrative etching is by artist Edouard d'Alton, and comes 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. We're thinking about starting an Edouard d'Alton fan club even though he's been dead for almost 200 years. Don't judge us.
This is the perfect garment for all sorts of nerds: bird nerds, zoology nerds, osteology nerds, anatomy nerds, vintage illustrative etching nerds, you name it! (We're all of those kinds of nerd at once.)
These heavyweight sweatshirts are made of 90% US grown cotton and 10% polyester. The interior is a cozy fleece, and the ribbed collar, cuffs, and waistband are a stretchy spandex blend. They are highly, extremely snuggle-able, which is great if you like snuggling, and also great if you hate snuggling but want to lure your enemies closer.
