Vintage Typewriters
The artful ephemera of America's typewriter age.
The art on a piece of vintage typewriter ephemera is something modern design no longer takes the time for. Engraved by hand on steel plates, often months in the making, every line was set by a highly skilled craftsman. These are small masterpieces that have somehow survived.
Each framed print in this collection is restored from an original artifact and includes researched historical context and QR access to a narrated audio story. Who invented it, what made it different, why it mattered, and what was happening in the world when it was printed. Worth knowing. Worth talking about. From the earliest American typewriter pioneers to the rivals who reshaped the machines, this isn't wall art you'll find anywhere else.
A century of clatter and ink. The art on rescued paper remained.
