The Story Behind the Print

James Leonard Plimpton's U.S. Patent US37305, granted 1863-01-06, documents improvement in skates. The original Patent Office sheet preserves its technical figures, labels, signatures, and documentary arrangement.

This Archive Print Co. edition retains the approved patent composition and measured border on a warm archival-paper ground. No part of the drawing is cropped or stretched.

Printed to order on 325gsm museum-grade archival matte paper with fade-resistant archival pigment inks. Available as a print or in the Slimwood Silver, Slimwood Gold, and Satin Black frame finishes.

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.

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!)
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!
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.
