Patents & Design Framed Art Prints

Gary from Hokowhitu

New selection of Patents & Design Art Prints now available from Magnum Images.

A large and ever increasing range of subjects are available, from fishing equipment to musical instruments, coffee making paraphernalia to vintage fire arms, brewing and distilling equipment. Various forms of transportation including aircraft, steam, rail, motorsport and cycling and much much more.

Many of these patents and designs date back over 150 years and include some weird ands wacky ideas, and some brilliant ones too. Some you will recognise but had no idea how they came to be or who invented or designed them.

The black and white patents and designs drawings are resorted by Magnum Images and then various patinas are added to give them one of four main looks; Vintage, Blueprint, Blackboard and Blue or Black ink on white paper. Certain patinas work better on certain images but also suit the environment you wish to put them in. Be it your man cave, kitchen, games room, batch there is bound one that suits.

The final product is then printed to order in-house at Magnum Images on our Epson Photo Printer using archival inks and paper. Sizes in most cases 400x500 or 420x597 (A2), and can be supplied framed or unframed.

Included with patent prints where available are the accompanying documentation describing what the patent is for.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
