Windsor Folio RCIN 912656 • Avian Wing Articulation & Tendons (c. 1512)
Leonardo da Vinci — Wing Biomechanics Tee
Restored from Leonardo da Vinci’s c. 1512–13 pen-and-ink manuscript study of avian wing mechanics (Windsor Royal Library RCIN 912656). Traces four progressive stages of wing extension and flexion, exposing the humerus, radius-ulna lever arm, carpometacarpus joints, and the tendon cords that automatically spread the primary flight feathers during the downstroke, accompanied by Leonardo’s left-handed mirror-script notes and proportional scale bars.
Relaxed boxy fit. 100% ring-spun US cotton (6.1 oz) with a topstitched classic-width rib collar and twill-taped neck and shoulders. Garment-dyed for virtually zero shrinkage.
