The Story Behind the Print

George F. Grant’s U.S. Patent 638,920, granted December 12, 1899, describes George F. Grant’s pointed wooden golf tee with a flexible tubular head, developed as a reusable alternative to a hand-formed mound of sand.

The enlarged ball and tapered tee are rendered with the quiet clarity of a sporting-goods specimen. 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.

“This print is BEAUTIFUL! It arrived quickly and soundly packaged. The color is just as we expected, and we absolutely love it. Already looking to collect more. Highly recommended vendor and item. (Thank you!)”

September 2016

“I contacted Paola and asked if she could print me a Sanibel Island map - even though there wasn't one on her page for sale. She immediately responded with "yes" and sent me a photograph before printing for me to approve. My package came well protected; and my picture is absolutely perfect! It looks beautiful in the distressed wood frame I bought. My mom is going to love it; and now I have to order one for myself!”

January 2017

“I absolutely love my framed map of Charleston. I ordered the 36x48 and it looks gorgeous hanging in my kitchen. The size makes it such a statement piece and everyone comments on how much they like it! It came with the hanging hardware, which was helpful and easy to use.”
