The Little Prince T-Shirt | Prince and Fox Literary Tee

Exhibit Notes

A Little Prince T-shirt about the one lesson the fox asked to be remembered for: what is essential is invisible to the eye.

Far from his small planet and the rose he left behind, the little prince meets a fox who will not be played with until he is tamed. Taming, the fox explains, means establishing ties: afterwards, wheat fields will remind him of golden hair, and each of them will be unique to the other in all the world. It is the fox who teaches the prince why his rose matters — because of the time he has given her — and who sends him home with the secret at the heart of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's 1943 book: it is only with the heart that one can see rightly.

The artwork

The prince sits on the crown of his little world in his long scarf, the fox at his side and a single red rose between them, beneath a ringed planet and a scatter of stars. The illustration is drawn in a soft, hand-coloured line that recalls the author's own watercolours, and it carries no words at all — the story is told entirely by two figures sitting together. A quiet literary tee for readers who have kept the book close since childhood.
