United States Patent Office no. 3,080,583, filed June 8, 1959, serial no. 818, 935, granted March 12, 1963, inventor: Buckminster Fuller

From the "Inventions: Twelve Around One" portfolio of thirteen screenprints and text by Buckminster Fuller published by the Carl Solway Gallery. Produced under the supervision of Buckminster Fuller by Colophon, Cinicinnati, Ohio. The edition is limited to 60 numbered portfolios (1-60) and 20 hors commerce (I-XX). Each print consists of two 30" x 40" screenprinted sheets, one of which illustrates drawings for a patent invention by Fuller, and the second sheet illustrates the realization of the concept. These two sheets may be presented separately, in two frames; or together, as an overlay, in one frame.

The patent invention drawings are screenprinted in white ink on a clear polyester film. A plain blue backing sheet, provided with each print, may be placed under the clear film patent drawings to create the effect of a blueprint. The accompanying photo realization of each invention is a screenprint on Lenox 100 percent rag paper. The text pages and blue backing sheets are Curtis Tweedweave 100 percent rag paper (made especially for the portfolio). Hand-signed and numbered by Buckminster Fuller on the clear film element.
