The Story Behind the Print
Walter Hunt’s U.S. Patent 6281, granted April 10, 1849, documents a single length of wire formed into a spring coil, pointed shaft, and protective clasp—the enduring arrangement of the safety pin.
A handful of enlarged views transforms the familiar pin into an elegant, almost calligraphic nineteenth-century study. 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 sewing rooms, nurseries, studios, and collections of everyday invention.
Colors may vary slightly between screens and the finished piece—the print will always be richer.

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.
