The Story Behind the Print
Whitcomb L. Judson’s U.S. Patent 504,038, granted August 29, 1893, records Whitcomb L. Judson’s clasp locker for shoes, a sliding fastener made from interlocking clasps operated by a guide.
Boot sections, clasp details, and enlarged components turn a small fastener into a richly descriptive fashion plate. 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.

Customer notes
From our collectors
“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,”
“I absolutely LOVE this map; the quality is worth the price! We own a retail seafood company and recently renovated. This map is the centerpiece that I am feeding off of the decor for the entire retail area. Shipping was right on and actually came earlier than expected within a week! Quality company for sure. Can't wait to order more maps !”
