Anna Botsford Comstock • Boxwood Engraving, Fig. 469 (1897)
Danaus Plexippus — Monarch Tee
Restored from Figure 469 of John Henry Comstock and Anna Botsford Comstock’s classic A Manual for the Study of Insects (1897). Engraved directly onto end-grain boxwood from a specimen at Cornell University by Anna Botsford Comstock, this 1:1 dorsal study of the Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus, formerly Anosia plexippus) captures the full fore-wing and hind-wing discal cell venation, black-veined interspaces, double row of marginal white spots, and the male scent patch on vein Cu2 of the hind wing.
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.
