The Story Behind the Print
Walter E. Disney’s U.S. Patent 2,201,689, granted May 21, 1940, documents Walter E. Disney’s animation apparatus, designed to align drawings and allow controlled movement of layered artwork during photography.
Two open animation tables and their registration mechanisms create an elegant bridge between drawing and cinema technology. 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.
