The Story Behind the Print
Charles P. Strite’s U.S. Patent 1,394,450, granted October 18, 1921, describes an automatic bread toaster with a timed release mechanism. The invention addressed burned toast by combining electric heating elements with a controlled pop-up action.
Large front and plan views expose the heating chambers, rack, spring, and timing parts with clear early-twentieth-century drafting. This restored edition sets the crisp black patent sheet on cool aged paper and finishes it with the collection’s restrained black border.
Printed to order on 325gsm museum-grade archival matte paper with fade-resistant archival pigment inks. Designed for kitchens, breakfast rooms, cafes, and collections of everyday invention.
Colors may vary slightly between screens and the finished piece—the print will always be richer.

Customer notes
From our collectors
“Just perfect! I adore it for my kitchen.”
“Wow! This is the second print I've purchased from Paola and couldn't be happier with the quality! It's printed on nice thick paper and the colors are really vibrant. I bought it as a gift and the recipient loves it. The packaging was nice as well - it came rolled up so it was protected during shipping but unrolled easily for the frame. Thank you!!”
