“Wow! This is the second print I've purchased from Paola and couldn't be happier with the quality! It's printed on nice thick paper and the colors are really vibrant. I bought it as a gift and the recipient loves it. The packaging was nice as well - it came rolled up so it was protected during shipping but unrolled easily for the frame. Thank you!!”

The Story Behind the Print
Jan E. Matzeliger’s U.S. Patent 274,207, granted March 20, 1883, documents Jan Matzeliger’s lasting machine and the coordinated grippers, supports, and mechanical motions used to shape a shoe upper over its last.
The towering machine elevation and component studies create a powerful portrait of industrial shoemaking. 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.

“I ordered two framed maps from Archive Print and they are GORGEOUS!! The frames and simple and elegant! The order arrived faster than I expected and were packaged well. I've hung the beautiful maps over my piano and they have really helped my room look pulled together.”
“Purchased as a gift for my husband's birthday and it was exactly what he wanted. The print and frame were very well made and arrived quickly. There was great attention to detail in the packaging to ensure it arrived safely. Justin was friendly and professional. I would highly recommend this seller!!!”
