Jack London and Mark Twain t-shirts at Zazzle

Zazzle has partnered with a few big libraries and archives—including The Library of Congress, The Bancroft Library, and the Boston Public Library—to provide a way for these institutions to make some of their images available to the public in different ways—prints, posters, mugs, t-shirts.

Just browsing through some of the collections, I found t-shirts available with this sweet photo of Jack London from the Bancroft Library . . .









. . . and this one of Samuel Clemens—Mark Twain—as a very young man. (The image on Zazzle is just the photograph, but they don't allow anyone to copy the image from there, so this is a picture of the photograph in its case from the Bancroft Library site.) It's difficult to see, but he's holding a "printer's composing stick" with the letters "S", "A", and "M".
