Snapshots of the Past sku-13235200464 Wall Art L | Print

Snapshots of the Past Wall Art is a Black, size L reproduction print of the airship De La Muerthe in the Transportation Building at the St. Louis Purchase Exposition, 1904. The title lists dimensions of 16" x 20". The company restores historical maps, photos and prints from Library of Congress archives and makes reproductions using fine-art archival paper and pigmented inks, which the source says can last a lifetime and be passed down.

Founded in 2001, it says it was the first company to offer Library of Congress images as museum-quality fine-art reproduction prints. Its buyers include over 200 bookstores and other retailers, as well as tens of thousands of internet customers; it was selected as a vendor for the White House redecoration project of 2008. The source also notes that lithography was invented in 1796.

In 1989, the Library of Congress American Memory pilot project laid the groundwork for the National Digital Library Program, which began in 1995 to digitize selected collections concerning American cultural heritage. The source suggests historical Halloween, Mother's Day and Valentine's Day posters, or early aerial views of Manhattan, Boston, Chicago and San Francisco, as display pieces or gifts for a home, study or workplace.
