The Story Behind the Print

Joseph F. Glidden’s U.S. Patent 157124, granted November 24, 1874, documents a wire fence in which short sharpened pieces are held in place by a second twisted wire.

Enlarged knots, barbs, and twisting details make the modest fence material read as a rhythmic study in line and tension. This restored edition preserves the original patent 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 farmhouses, ranch offices, workshops, and collections of agricultural history.

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.

I contacted Paolo to see if she had a map of a certain coastal area that wasn't currently available on her site. She responded within a few hours and located the print by the next day. I received the map a few days after shipping. I couldn't be happier with the quality of the print or the service. She was an absolute pleasure to deal with!!!
The print is beautiful and exactly what I expected. The customer service was OUTSTANDING. The seller went above and beyond to make sure I got my item in time for Christmas and even sent out a new one next day shipped because the first one wasn’t moving along fast enough through the postal service. Definitely recommend this seller and will be purchasing more from this shop in the future. Thank you!
I love this map! It came in perfect condition and it is beautiful! We had to get a custom frame which can get pricey, especially for the size we chose 48 × 36 but it looks great and filled our large wall perfectly! Great find!
