This tee features a charming vintage illustration of Asia packed with animals, people, plants, and curiosities from an old encyclopedia-style map. The image actually comes from a French dictionary from the 1930's, with truly hand-drawn linework and real aged paper. Elephants, tigers, rhinos, yaks, bears, spices, tea, opium, gems—it’s like a 19th-century curiosity cabinet turned into wearable art. The hand-drawn linework and aged paper look give it that perfectly imperfect antique vibe.
It’s playful, nerdy, and a little mysterious—great for history lovers, map geeks, world travelers, teachers, artists, museum fans, and anyone who loves old illustrations or vintage science art.
Printed on a soft, comfortable unisex t-shirt and available in multiple colors and sizes. Makes a unique gift for explorers, collectors, geography fans, or anyone who appreciates retro, academic, or dark-academia aesthetics.
