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 a 1.125 inch face, glazed in crystal-clear acrylic, and finished with a kraft paper dust cover and hanging wire. Your print is dry mounted so it stays perfectly flat for decades. Each framed piece arrives ready to hang.
The frame adds roughly 1.75 inches to each side of the print size you select. 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.
