The Story Behind the Print

Louis A. A. Le Prince’s U.S. Patent 376,247, granted January 10, 1888, documents Louis Le Prince’s method and apparatus for producing animated pictures from a rapid sequence of photographic exposures.

Camera sections, circular exposure openings, and the film path form a precise foundational cinema diagram. 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 absolutely love my framed map of Charleston. I ordered the 36x48 and it looks gorgeous hanging in my kitchen. The size makes it such a statement piece and everyone comments on how much they like it! It came with the hanging hardware, which was helpful and easy to use.
Justin did a fantastic time job! The print was gorgeous and exactly what I was looking for . Can not recommend him enough !! If you are looking for a high quality expensive looking print look no further . Will 100% be purchasing another print again . Thanks Justin !!!
This was given as a gift for a new beach house. The print is beautiful! The barnwood frame gives it great character . It was a great gift and well loved. The seller was excellent , stayed in touch throughout.
