“Brilliant service. The seller reported a delay in the frame style, a second choice was immediately substituted, (visual choices were made available), and the shipment completed without any problem. He was candid, honest, and thorough. The item is stunning! It is the focal point in the living room,”

The Story Behind the Print
Alfred Nobel’s U.S. Patent 57,175, granted August 14, 1866, documents Alfred Nobel’s explosive compound and the apparatus used to contain, ignite, and apply the stabilized charge.
A tall sectional charge, detonator details, and Nobel’s period heading give the plate a spare scientific gravity. This restored edition preserves the original Patent Office arrangement in crisp black linework on cool, timeworn rag paper within the collection’s restrained black double rule.
Printed to order on 325gsm museum-grade archival matte paper with fade-resistant archival pigment inks. A natural piece for offices, libraries, workshops, and collections of invention and industrial design.
Colors may vary slightly between screens and the finished piece—the print will always be richer.
About the Frame

Satin Black has a 7/8-inch face and adds 1.25 inches to the total width and height. Slimwood Silver and Slimwood Gold have a 1 1/8-inch face and add 1.75 inches to the total width and height.
The selected size refers to the artwork itself. Framed orders are custom made and ship within 7 to 10 business days, free in the U.S. See our shipping and return policies for framed piece details.

“I absolutely LOVE this map; the quality is worth the price! We own a retail seafood company and recently renovated. This map is the centerpiece that I am feeding off of the decor for the entire retail area. Shipping was right on and actually came earlier than expected within a week! Quality company for sure. Can't wait to order more maps !”
