About this design

The story behind it
The carol "Good King Wenceslas," written by John Mason Neale in 1853, tells of a king who braves the winter snow with his page to bring food to a poor man on the Feast of Stephen, December 26. The real Wenceslas was a 10th-century duke of Bohemia, remembered for his kindness; the title of king came after his death.
Proposed colors: Natural
Mockups show the print at true scale on a size M tee. Colors are proposed, not final.
