About this design
Camille Flammarion (1824-1925) was a French Astronomer, Writer and Science Fiction author. He wrote about the stars and planets, speculated on the future in his fiction and later became interested in spiritualism. In 1888, he wrote L’atmosphere: meteorology populaire (The Atmosphere: Popular Meteorology) in which appears the infamous “Flammarion Woodcut”. This enigmatic illustration has not yet been dated. Some claim it is Mediaeval, others say it is a Victorian forgery in the tradition of Chatterton, perhaps by Flammarion himself. It has come to stand for the question of reality itself, having been used extensively by philosophers and scientists. The woodcut shows a pilgrim pulling back the curtain of the sky and revealing the workings of the Universe. On this t shirt my design uses this as its base but is my own interpretation of the woodcut. The caption reads: A Missionary of the Middle-ages tells that he has found the point where the Sky and the Earth meet.
Please celebrate the fact there is not much new under the Sun wear our Flammarion t shirt.
