Snapshots of the Past Wall Art, Black, size L, sku-13284664361, UPC 467316735284, is a 16" x 20" reproduction print of a site plan for the Burnette residence in Sarasota, Florida. The company restores historical maps, photos and prints from Library of Congress archives and uses archival paper and pigmented inks.

Founded in 2001, it says it was the first to offer Library of Congress images as fine-art reproductions. 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 2008 White House redecoration project. Lithography was invented in 1796.

The Library of Congress began its American Memory pilot in 1989, followed by the National Digital Library Program in 1995 to digitize selected collections about American cultural history. The company's historical prints can be displayed at home or work or given as gifts.
