Organic Cotton Ponko T-Shirt

Toddlers will look trendy this season in our Ponko t-shirt.  Ponko, a toy penguin, was modelled on photographs taken by Herbert Ponting during Scott's Terra Nova expedition to the Ross Sea and South Pole. Our versatile grey marl t-shirt celebrates this historic toy and can be paired with other items in the Ponko print, making it a great style to be worn again and again.

The original ‘Ponko’ was a promotional soft toy based on photographic studies of Adélie penguins in the Antarctic by Herbert Ponting. He was part of Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s British Antarctic Expedition from 1910–12, and the first professional photographer to go to the Antarctic. Produced alongside Ponting’s film Great White Silence, Ponko is thought to be one of the earliest pieces of merchandise to be sold in conjunction with a film.
