This very elaborate printer's mark has it all. Grand heraldic shield held by a pair of dragons regardant: check. Trees and flowers galore: check. Small birds and one very confused-looking owl: check. A child and a naked little cherub stranded at the tops of the trees: check check.

What all of this evidence tells us is that 15th-16th century French printer and bookseller Ponset le Preux was very extra. Like we'll give him the owl, that's just fun and whimsical, but the little naked cherub is just too much and he really needed to dial it back a little.

You might be wondering, who wants to wear the printer's mark of some old dead guy? Book nerds, that's who. Modern-day printers. History buffs. Fans of the kind of extreme drama that Ponset le Preux no doubt brought to every situation in his life. If you're any of those things, this is just the thing for you! If you're not, it's the perfect gift for that person in your life who is exactly the right kind of nerd!

This tee is made with 100% combed ringspun cotton (except for the heather grey, which containers 10% polyester). What does that mean, exactly? That's t-shirt people speak for "it's comfy." It's pre-laundered by the manufacturer to ensure a great fit without shrinkage, and it has a tear-away label because nobody likes a scratchy collar tag.
