A Bubble hockey legend shirt .Boogert. a name not generally associated with screen printing in kingteeshops, is as relevant to t-shirt printing as much as the ink and squeegees. Boogert’s is a name that should be known throughout the screenprinting world, well actually the entire art world. Aside from having an absolutely hilarious surname, Boogert’s historic footprint went relatively unnoticed until the modern day and academics have only now begun analysing his work. His work consists of an 800 plus handwritten hand-painted document that acts as the most comprehensive paint and colour guide of its time. Colour guides remain to this day the medium that screen printers match their ink colours to and what is phenomenal about Booger (I mean Boogert’s) achievement is that his colour volumes, named “ Traité des couleurs servant à la peinture à l’eau” were completed in 1692, a whopping 270 years before the first edition of the Pantone colour guide was released.
