The Story Behind the Print
James M. Spangler’s U.S. Patent 889,823, granted June 2, 1908, documents James Spangler’s portable electric carpet sweeper, combining suction, a rotating brush, collection bag, and operator handle.
Large sectional views reveal fan, brush, bag, and handle geometry with energetic mechanical detail. 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.

Customer notes
From our collectors
“Beautiful! The print exceeded my expectations. I had it framed locally, and the framer commented on the high quality of the paper. Well packaged to prevent damage. Will shop with this vendor again.”
“We bought the American flamingo framed print. I absolutely love it! Justin was super helpful with the shipping-we live in Hong Kong and these things and I was worried the glass etc may be damaged in shipping-but it arrived in perfect condition. Very happy customer, can highly recommend.”
