The Story Behind the Print

This vintage patent drawing captures the revolutionary Wolfmüller Velocipede, patented in 1895 by German inventor Alois Wolfmüller. Recognized as one of the world's first production motorcycles, this two-wheeled marvel emerged during the bicycle craze of the 1890s, when inventors across Europe raced to motorize personal transportation.

Wolfmüller's design was audaciously ambitious for its time — a four-stroke engine mounted directly to the rear wheel, producing a whopping 2.5 horsepower. While only 2,000 units were ever built before the company folded, this patent blueprint art represents a pivotal moment when the horse-and-buggy era began its transformation into our motorized world. The technical precision of these original patent drawings reveals the meticulous engineering behind breakthrough inventions.

Printed on 325gsm museum-grade archival matte paper using premium giclée printing with archival inks, ensuring this vintage patent print will grace your walls for generations without fading.

Colors may vary slightly between screens and the finished piece — the print will always be richer.

From a Collector

“Third order from Archive Print Co. The paper weight, the linework — it’s the real thing. Framed it in dark walnut. Looks like it’s been hanging in a gallery for decades.”
