The Story Behind the Print

La Marcus A. Thompson’s U.S. Patent 310966, granted January 20, 1885, documents an elevated pleasure railway with descending tracks, passenger cars, transfer platforms, and a return arrangement.

The long architectural elevation and small rolling cars give the sheet the narrative sweep of an early amusement-park panorama. 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 game rooms, playrooms, studios, and collections of amusement 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.

This is my 5th print - as you can tell...I'm 100% happy with my purchases. I'm have already ordered another print which is being delivered today😀❤️ All the prints were delivered in a timely manner and arrived in perfect condition. They are absolutely beautiful 😍
I received the print in perfect condition. It is so beautiful!! I love it. My fault - I didn't read your comments about framing being a separate item. I would have loved to have you frame it too. You do wonderful work. Thank you.
Beautiful! This is my 4th purchase - And definitely not my last! I love all 5 of the prints and they are absolutely gorgeous 😍 I know all my reviews are redundant - Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful ❤️
