The story
July 1807. To celebrate the treaties of Tilsit, Napoleon's chief of staff Berthier arranged a rabbit hunt.

The story goes that the rabbits were tame ones from farm hutches, not wild ones. When the cages opened, they took the hunters for the people who fed them and ran straight at the Emperor, over his boots, in their hundreds. He retreated to his carriage.

The man who conquered half of Europe, outflanked by lunch.

Source: the memoirs of General Paul Thiébault. A legend, told as one.

The print

Cut archive collage, printed free-form on cotton, one spot red. Inside the neck: the turned F and Hoc non est tunica.

Every shirt is numbered by hand and comes with its story card, printed like an old newspaper.

The edition

Each Plate is limited to 100 shirts, signed and numbered. The signature and your number go on the certificate and on the story card, printed like an old newspaper.
