Lewis Latimer Carbon Filament Blueprint Tee

Before the light bulb could illuminate the world, it needed Lewis Latimer. While Thomas Edison gets the credit, it was Latimer — a self-taught Black engineer and inventor — who perfected the carbon filament that made the light bulb practical and affordable for everyday use. His 1882 patent changed everything. This vintage patent blueprint tee features a detailed technical diagram of his incandescent carbon filament light bulb. A wearable tribute to the man who literally made the modern world brighter.

The Foundation of Modern Illumination.
