Hydra Printer's Mark Women's V-Neck
Tag urself, I'm the one with two horns, three eyes, and a clearly uninformed zest for life.
This is the mark of printer and bookseller Guillaume de La Nouaille, who practiced his trade in 16th century Limoges, France. A printer's mark, just as it sounds, was essentially a printer's logo or trademark. This one features a strange many-headed hydra dragon standing on a pedestal; the Latin motto that borders it, Sic virtus oppressa resurgit, translates as "Thus oppressed valor rises."
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. People who like cryptic Latin phrases because they sound vaguely like a magical incantation. 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 slim, fitted v-neck is made with Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton. What does that even mean? It means it's cozy and fashionable and... cotton-y.
