The Story Behind the Print
Henry Ford’s U.S. Patent 1,029,957, granted June 18, 1912, records Henry Ford’s transmission mechanism and its coordinated levers, shafts, gears, and pedals for controlling an early motor vehicle.
A commanding vehicle section and carefully traced control linkages make a dynamic automotive engineering plate. 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.
