This print reflects Jonathan Charles’ admiration for the ingenuity of the late 19th century, when mechanical innovation was expressed through elegant illustration. Drawn from an early typewriter patent, the work reveals its inner workings with engineering precision and refined graphic clarity. Hand printed on black handmade paper, the image carries depth and archival character. Further enriched with hand-applied gold leaf, it introduces a subtle luminosity that honors the craftsmanship of early industrial design. Float-mounted in restrained black frames, the work appears suspended in space, allowing material, detail and invention to take focus. It celebrates the intersection of technology, artistry and timeless design.
