The Story Behind the Print

Eleazer Kempshall’s U.S. Patent 700656, granted May 20, 1902, documents a molded shell blank for a playing ball, with interlocking sections and a patterned surface developed for controlled manufacture and performance.

Spherical sections, surface patterns, and enlarged joints give the sheet a handsome sporting-goods geometry. This restored edition preserves the original patent 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 club rooms, offices, studies, and collections of golf and sporting history.

Colors may vary slightly between screens and the finished piece—the print will always be richer.

About the Frame

Framed pieces are built to order in solid wood with clear acrylic glazing, dry-mounted artwork, a kraft paper dust cover, and hanging wire. Each piece arrives ready to hang. No mat. 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.
