Founded in 2001, it was the first company to offer Library of Congress images as museum-quality reproduction prints. Its buyers have included over 200 bookstores and other retailers, as well as tens of thousands of online customers. It was selected as a vendor for the White House redecoration project in 2008. Lithography, invented in 1796, enabled inexpensive mass production of prints.

The company's other prints include holiday posters and early aerial views of Manhattan, Boston, Chicago and San Francisco.
