“I couldn't believe my eyes when I unpacked the New York Times print. The quality is amazing and it really almost looks as if you have an old copy in your hand - once it's on the wall you can barely tell the difference. I am super happy with this print and would recommend shopping at this store anytime. Thank you so much!”

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
U.S. Patent 79,265, granted June 23, 1868 to C. L. Sholes, C. Glidden, and S. W. Soule, records an early “Improvement in Type-Writing Machines.” The design belongs to the formative period in which the familiar office typewriter was being worked out through levers, keys, type bars, and paper-feeding mechanisms.
The sheet’s plan, elevation, and mechanical figures turn a complicated writing machine into an unusually graphic composition. This restored edition retains the documentary layout and fine black callouts, finished on a cool aged-paper ground with a restrained archival border.
Printed to order on 325gsm museum-grade archival matte paper with fade-resistant archival pigment inks. A considered piece for writers, editors, libraries, newsrooms, and historically minded workspaces.
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.

“I contacted Paolo to see if she had a map of a certain coastal area that wasn't currently available on her site. She responded within a few hours and located the print by the next day. I received the map a few days after shipping. I couldn't be happier with the quality of the print or the service. She was an absolute pleasure to deal with!!!”
“The print is beautiful and exactly what I expected. The customer service was OUTSTANDING. The seller went above and beyond to make sure I got my item in time for Christmas and even sent out a new one next day shipped because the first one wasn’t moving along fast enough through the postal service. Definitely recommend this seller and will be purchasing more from this shop in the future. Thank you!”
