Terms of Venery Print - 12x16" / Unframed

The Terms of Venery Print is a vibrant crash course in the weirdly specific language medieval hunters used to describe animal groups. Featuring 20 historical collective nouns illustrated in bold, geometric style, this educational art print explains why crows travel in murders, hippos gather in bloats, and mules stubbornly form barrels (because of course they do). These terms originated in Late Middle Ages hunting manuals, where calling a group of peacocks an "ostentation" apparently made you sound sophisticated at the local tavern (read our full scholarly article on the history). With mid-century modern illustrations rendered in Fun Fact Co.'s signature bright color palette, this wall art delivers that satisfying "it's called a WHAT?" moment every time you notice a new detail. Perfect for word nerds, animal enthusiasts, teachers, or anyone who's ever wanted to sound unnecessarily fancy when pointing out a group of ducks.
