About this design
A powdered wig, a blue coat and a very fluffy lamb.
The story behind it
The British king who reigned during the American Revolution (1760 to 1820) took such an interest in farming that he ran experimental farms at Windsor and Kew. He worked to improve British wool by crossing native sheep with Spanish Merinos, and his royal flock was kept at Windsor and Kew until it was auctioned in 1804. Britain formally recognized American independence in the Treaty of Paris in 1783.
Proposed colors: Natural
Mockups show the print at true scale on a size M tee. Colors are proposed, not final.
