Crested Serpent Eagle Osteology Vintage Illustration Longsleeve Shirt

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.)

This longsleeve tee is 100% cotton, with a seamless ribbed collar and tear-away label. The fit is comfortable, and the long sleeves are great for covering up those mysterious glowing tattoos that appeared on your arms last night, right after that weird old guy told you you were the 'chosen one.'
