We restore and reproduce forgotten masterworks of graphic design on museum-grade paper — so they can live on your walls instead of in an archive.
The Story Behind the Print
Oscar E. Brown’s U.S. Patent 481,271, granted August 23, 1892, documents Oscar E. Brown’s compound horseshoe, combining a fixed upper shoe, a replaceable lower shoe, locking levers, and a cushioning layer.
Curving shoe forms, locking levers, cushion layers, and small sections create a handsome equestrian-mechanical study. 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.

Customer notes
From our collectors
“Initially, I wasn't sure what size I needed. The seller was extremely helpful and offered to send mock-up images of the image in the frame so I could physically visualize the piece! Overall, it is a beautiful accent piece for our entryway table! Frame/image came packed well with not a scratch on it! Would recommend this seller 100%.”
“My daughter loves the map in her room. She looks at is a lot . She points to all the places she wants to travel to. The packaging was great. It was very safe with all the bubble wrap! The frame was what I picked out. It arrived when it was suppose to. Thank you Liz”
