About the Artist
C. Morgan is credited as the drafter of this 1891 coffee mill patent illustration, a technical drawing that bridges engineering documentation and graphic art. In the late nineteenth century, inventors and draftsmen played a crucial role in translating mechanical innovations into precise diagrams for legal protection and archival purposes.
These patent sheets are now valued as vintage industrial art, offering a glimpse into the ingenuity and design thinking of a transformative era in everyday technology.
The Artwork
This 1891 patent drawing was created to document the unique mechanism of a coffee mill for the United States Patent Office. Such illustrations were essential for demonstrating the construction and function of inventions, ensuring clarity for examiners and future reference.
The rise of coffee culture in the nineteenth century made grinders and mills important household tools. This vintage print connects the evolution of domestic rituals to the broader story of industrial design, and it complements selections from our kitchen wall art collection.
Style & Characteristics
The artwork features crisp black linework on warm beige paper, arranged in a blueprint-like composition. Multiple views—including exterior profiles and sectional diagrams—are presented to reveal both the outer form and inner workings of the coffee mill. Fine hatching and precise contours emphasize clarity and structure over decorative effects.
The mood is methodical and quietly refined, embodying the appeal of black and white technical illustration. For those who appreciate diagrammatic aesthetics, our science prints offer a similar balance of precision and visual interest.
In Interior Design
This coffee mill patent poster adds a sophisticated industrial accent to kitchens, dining areas, coffee nooks, or home offices. Its neutral palette pairs effortlessly with wood, metal, or stone finishes, making it a versatile choice for modern interiors.
For a cohesive gallery wall, combine it with other black and white posters or mix with warm neutrals and textured frames. It appeals to coffee enthusiasts, design lovers, and collectors of vintage patent art alike.
