London: Inventions from the Wright brother’s flying machine to Apple’s iPod are some of the most instantly recognisable in the world and even define eras. Now, a group of artists have sourced the patents for the game-changing gadgets and recreated their designs in a collection of stylish blueprints to celebrate the iconic designs.

The above picture shows the firing mechanism of a handgun, which was patented on December 6, 1881

They include inventions as simple as the Lego brick and other more complex designs such as the first typewriter or a Harley Davidson motorcycle. The designs were the idea of the Florida-based art company Oliver Gal Artist Co, whose works feature not only the intricate designs of the objects, but also the history behind each.
