Cine Camera Patent Canvas Print, 1940s Turret Lens Wall Art

Description

A technical patent drawing of a drum-bodied camera with a three-lens rotating turret and a cutaway of the color-filter slideway built into the front housing, printed on gallery-wrapped canvas in 11×14 or 16×20. As a cine camera patent canvas print it reads as a piece of early production-camera history rather than a reproduction studio photo.

The drawing dates to 1940, when swapping color filters on a small turret-lens camera meant sliding a tinted filter into a slot cut right beside the lenses, and it is rendered the way a patent office actually recorded it – the turret face with its lens openings, a side section, and the separate filter holder shown on its own. That technical quality reads very differently from a simple studio photo, and appeals to a filmmaker or a camera-history collector alike.

Each canvas is made to order in our family-owned workshop in Northeast Ohio, printed with fade-resistant inks on a warm parchment tone so the aged linework keeps its detail for years instead of washing out in sunlight. Both sizes are stretched over a solid wood support bar with clean, finished edges.

The canvas ships ready to hang, with wall hangers that hold securely without nails or tools and remove cleanly without holes or wall damage, so it settles into a home office, an editing suite, or a rented apartment just as easily. Both the 11×14 and 16×20 sizes hang the same way, and either one settles easily into a gallery wall.

Choose the size that fits your wall and give this cine camera patent canvas print to the filmmaker, the camera collector, or anyone who appreciates the engineering behind an early production camera.

Every order is made and packed by hand in our family shop in Northeast Ohio. We use premium gallery-wrapped canvas, high-quality frame material and fade-resistant inks for both prints and canvas. Each frame is made to order and shipped same or next business day.
