U.S. Patent 79,265, granted June 23, 1868 to C. L. Sholes, C. Glidden, and S. W. Soule, records an early “Improvement in Type-Writing Machines.” The design belongs to the formative period in which the familiar office typewriter was being worked out through levers, keys, type bars, and paper-feeding mechanisms.
The sheet’s plan, elevation, and mechanical figures turn a complicated writing machine into an unusually graphic composition. This restored edition retains the documentary layout and fine black callouts, finished on a cool aged-paper ground with a restrained archival border.
Printed to order on 325gsm museum-grade archival matte paper with fade-resistant archival pigment inks. A considered piece for writers, editors, libraries, newsrooms, and historically minded workspaces.
Colors may vary slightly between screens and the finished piece—the print will always be richer.
Our prints are produced to museum standards. Each piece is printed on premium heavyweight archival matte paper (325gsm), the same quality used in museums and galleries, giving rich color, deep blacks, and excellent detail.
