Based on a woodcut from the 15th century, this is the earliest known depiction of a “Plague Doctor”, a sinister image but the beak was filled with herbs thought to cleanse the air so the doctor could tend to their patient.

A larger back patch version of this design is available in my shop.

All my patches are printed on quality cotton (the weight of material used for a dress shirt), not canvas. My patches are hand printed and hand cut so expect variations in the cut edges. When I sew on my patches I like a frayed edge but for a neat edge you can fold the edges under when sewing.

Most patches will be folded to post, so just run an iron over it when it arrives!
