The Story Behind the Print

Seth Wheeler’s U.S. Patent 465,588, granted December 22, 1891, documents Seth Wheeler’s perforated toilet-paper roll and the dispensing fixture arranged to separate sheets cleanly at each perforation.

The boldly shaded roll, hanging sheet, and compact fixture detail make an immediately recognizable domestic-design plate. 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.

About the Frame

Framed pieces are built to order in solid wood with clear acrylic glazing, dry-mounted artwork, a kraft paper dust cover, and hanging wire. Each piece arrives ready to hang. No mat. 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.

The selected size refers to the artwork itself. 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.

Well to say I love my maps is an understatement!!! They exceeded my expectations! Paola listened to exactly what I wanted in regards to Colors, frames, details of maps, etc The quality of the maps is wonderful and the frames are gorgeous. He was such a pleasure to work with! He was very quick to respond to all my questions and I received my maps so quick! LOVE this store!
This was a custom order, and it turned out SPECTACULAR. It was a gift for a friend, who loved it. I am delighted with the quality of the paper and detail of the map. Paola is a pleasure to work with, and everything was done well before expected. Careful packaging, speedy shipping--could not ask for more. I will be ordering again soon.
I purchased this map in the 48x36 size. The print is exactly as described and shown. I had it framed at my local frame shop and just picked it up a few days ago. The shop owner answered all my questions in a flash. If ever I should need another map...I know where to go!
