The Story Behind the Print

Thomas A. Edison’s U.S. Patent 589168, granted August 31, 1897, documents a motion-picture camera mechanism that advances perforated film intermittently behind the lens for a sequence of photographic exposures.

Camera elevations, sprockets, film paths, and shutter details create a dense mechanical portrait of early cinema. 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 screening rooms, studios, offices, and collections of film and photographic history.

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 ordered a 36" x 48" framed vintage map of Atlanta and it turned out great! Paola was very helpful in making sure I got exactly what I wanted and shipped the map quickly. I highly recommend Archive Print Company.
The seller was great! And the item even better. Exactly as described and my husband was thrilled with this gift. Got the largest, framed map and it is stunning. Love it!
Brilliant service. The seller reported a delay in the frame style, a second choice was immediately substituted, (visual choices were made available), and the shipment completed without any problem. He was candid, honest, and thorough. The item is stunning! It is the focal point in the living room,
