Questions
Are these real horses?
Yes. Each engraving was made after a photograph of a real horse, and most carry its own name, as the book printed it: Khamide, Kif-Kif, Tristan, Jenny.
Back or chest?
The plate is printed big on the back, about 28 cm across. The engraving is printed small at the centre of the chest, about 10 cm across, where an embroidered mark would sit.
Where do the engravings come from?
From three books of the breeds: Les Races chevalines (Paris, 1894), Heavy Horses (London, 1894) and Light Horses (London, 1898). In Motion is from Eadweard Muybridge’s Animal Locomotion (Philadelphia, 1887). All are in the public domain.
Is anything redrawn?
No. Each engraving is lifted from a scan of the page into one ink, cleaned and printed. The horse, its name and its number stay as the book printed them.
My breed is not here.
The books of the 1890s had no plate of it, or we have not found a clean one yet. We add a breed when we find its real horse. Write to hello@miniblank.com with the one you want.
What colour are the clothes?
White, so the ink reads like a page: the heavyweight tee, the crewneck and the hoodie in white, the oversized tee in a faded white. In Motion is printed in light ink on black.
Is it embroidered?
No. Every design is printed into the cotton, so the fine lines of the engraving survive.
How do I choose my size?
Every tee, crewneck and hoodie has a table in centimetres in the size guide. The heavyweight tee and the crewneck are relaxed: take your usual size. The oversized tee and the hoodie are cut loose: check the measures first.
Why do some sizes cost more?
The biggest sizes take more cotton. The exact price shows when you pick a size. Shipping stays free.
How long does delivery take?
Your piece is printed after you order, then shipped to you. Orders arrive between 9 and 16 Nov, with free tracked shipping.
Where do you ship?
To 75 countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, Singapore, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. The full list is at checkout. Shipping is free on every order.
Any customs charges?
The carrier may collect import tax or duties on delivery, under your country’s rules. Those go to your government or the carrier, not to us.
Where is it printed?
By a production partner at one of its print shops around the world, then sent straight to you.
How do I look after it?
Wash cold, inside out, hang to dry, and never iron the print.
Can I change or cancel?
Yes, within 2 hours of ordering, before printing starts. Write to hello@miniblank.com.
Can I send it back?
Not for size or a change of mind: it was printed for you. Damaged, misprinted or wrong: we replace it or refund you. Write within 14 days of delivery with a photo. Details in the replacements policy.
