The history behind the design
The Tree of Knowledge t-shirt shows rights growing from deep roots, from Magna Carta 1215 to the Bill of Rights of 1689.
The tree has long been used as a picture of knowledge growing from deep roots. Magna Carta grew the same way: the 1215 charter was reissued in 1216, 1217 and 1225, and its principles later fed into the English Petition of Right (1628), the Bill of Rights (1689) and the legal systems of many countries, Australia among them.
The Tree of Knowledge design carries that idea of rights growing from their historical roots, with a print on the front and back.
