The Siberian Husky story
SIBERIA
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.
The Chukchi people of northeastern Siberia bred a light, economical sled dog able to haul loads over long distances on very little food, and the type reached Alaska in the early twentieth century for racing. Teams of these dogs carried diphtheria antitoxin the final stretch into Nome in the winter of 1925, which is where most of the breed's fame comes from. The working traits are intact and largely inconvenient at home: a dog that rarely barks but argues at length in a rising howl, that regards a fence as a problem to be solved, that digs to find cool ground, and that drops its undercoat in sheets. For the plate, the artist worked the coat in layers rather than as one surface, and drew the eyes without softening their directness.

The Siberian Husky 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 Siberian Husky is Archive No. 018. 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.
