Computer Patent Canvas Print, Retro Desktop Housing Wall Art

Description

This 1986 all-in-one desktop computer housing design patent stretches across gallery-wrapped canvas in 11×14 or 16×20. As a computer patent canvas print it carries the full patent-office drawing – the boxy housing, the screen, and a vertical floppy-disk slot at its side – printed in fine schematic linework on an aged parchment ground. It holds its own in a home office, a study, or a classroom.

The patent was published September 16, 1986, and the drawing renders the housing the way a patent office actually records a design – clean orthographic views instead of a glossy photograph, with every seam and vent drawn out in fine linework. It is a genuine piece of computing history: the era when a computer first became one sealed unit sitting on a desk instead of a room full of separate machines, and the drawing captures that shift in a single sheet.

Each canvas is made to order in our family-owned workshop in Northeast Ohio, stretched over a solid wood frame and printed with fade-resistant inks so the aged tone holds up for years on the wall. The 16×20 size anchors a wall on its own in an office or classroom, while the 11×14 tucks into a smaller gallery grouping on a desk or a bookshelf.

Both sizes ship with adhesive strips already attached to the back – press them to the wall and it holds securely without nails or tools, and removes cleanly without holes or wall damage, a real advantage for a classroom, a dorm, or a rented office that cannot take a nail. Either size arrives with the image wrapped around a solid wood frame, about 1 inch deep.

One patent, two gallery-wrapped canvas sizes – a fitting gift for a teacher, an engineer, or anyone who remembers computing’s early days.

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.
