The Miniature Schnauzer story
GERMANY
Drawn as an original engraving in its own landscape and printed as a full archive plate. Comes as a tee, a sweatshirt, a hoodie, a print and a pack of cards, from £30.00.
Ratting was the original brief. German farmers around Frankfurt in the late nineteenth century crossed the Standard Schnauzer down in size, most likely with the Affenpinscher, to make a compact vermin dog for the yard and the stable, and the breed was established in Britain by the 1930s. The furnishings are functional as well as characterful: a harsh wiry jacket, heavy eyebrows, and a beard that collects half of every drink and delivers it to the nearest sofa. The temperament is a farm dog's, alert and vocal about anything arriving on the drive, and firmly of the view that it ought to be included in whatever is happening. For the plate the artist gave the beard and brows most of the line work and left the body coat spare, since the face is where this breed argues its case.

The Miniature Schnauzer plate
Every plate in the archive is drawn from scratch as a natural-history engraving, the breed set in the country it was made for rather than floated on a white background. The Miniature Schnauzer is Archive No. 027. The drawing is printed as a full plate across the back of the garment, nothing on the front, and the same plate is used for the print and the cards.
Garments are made when they are ordered, so nothing is printed until it is wanted and nothing is held in a warehouse. UK orders are printed in the UK and North American orders in the USA, which keeps the parcel on the same side of the ocean as the person waiting for it. If it is not right when it arrives, it can go back within 30 days.
