Vintage Patent Document

A vintage patent document for the {argument name="invention" default="INVENTION"}, styled after late-1800s U.S. Patent Office filings. The page features precise technical illustrations with labeled figures (Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3) showing front, side, and exploded views. Elegant fountain pen calligraphy describes the various mechanical components. The paper is an aged ivory parchment with visible foxing and faint fold lines.

The overall aesthetic is that of a rediscovered historical artifact—authentic, significant, and subtly mysterious
