The Story Behind the Print
Nikola Tesla’s U.S. Patent 381968, granted May 1, 1888, documents a polyphase alternating-current motor whose energized field coils create a rotating magnetic field to drive the armature.
Circular motor sections, winding diagrams, and electrical connections form one of the collection’s most intricate geometric plates. 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 offices, laboratories, libraries, and collections of electrical history.
Colors may vary slightly between screens and the finished piece—the print will always be richer.

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.

“Just perfect! I adore it for my kitchen.”
“Wow! This is the second print I've purchased from Paola and couldn't be happier with the quality! It's printed on nice thick paper and the colors are really vibrant. I bought it as a gift and the recipient loves it. The packaging was nice as well - it came rolled up so it was protected during shipping but unrolled easily for the frame. Thank you!!”
