“Purchased as a gift for my husband's birthday and it was exactly what he wanted. The print and frame were very well made and arrived quickly. There was great attention to detail in the packaging to ensure it arrived safely. Justin was friendly and professional. I would highly recommend this seller!!!”

The Story Behind the Print
Thomas A. Edison's U.S. Patent 203,016, issued in 1878, documents a speaking telephone. The approved Patent Office sheet preserves its technical figures, labels, signatures, and documentary arrangement.
This Archive Print Co. edition retains the approved patent composition and measured border on a warm archival-paper ground. No part of the drawing is cropped or stretched.
Printed to order on 325gsm museum-grade archival matte paper with fade-resistant archival pigment inks. Available as a print or in the Slimwood Silver, Slimwood Gold, and Satin Black frame finishes.
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 a 1.125 inch face, glazed in crystal-clear acrylic, and finished with a kraft paper dust cover and hanging wire. Your print is dry mounted so it stays perfectly flat for decades. Each framed piece arrives ready to hang.
The frame adds roughly 1.75 inches to each side of the print size you select. 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.

“Since the website didn't have an image of the print when framed, I was skeptical that it would be done the way I had envisioned. Purchase arrived quickly, was packaged very carefully, was framed beautifully. EXACTLY what I had hoped for!”
