The historic image is reproduced at 16 x 20 inches. UPC: 464948486249. The company makes reproductions of historical maps, photographs and prints restored from Library of Congress archives. Founded in 2001, it says it was the first to offer Library of Congress images as museum-quality fine-art reproduction prints. Its buyers include over 200 bookstores and other retailers, along with tens of thousands of online customers. It was selected as a vendor for the White House redecoration project of 2008. The listing notes that lithography, invented in 1796, made inexpensive mass production of poster prints possible. A Library of Congress pilot project called American Memory began in 1989 and laid the groundwork for the National Digital Library Program, which began in 1995. That program digitizes selected Library collections concerned with American cultural history. The company's prints use archival paper and pigmented inks; the listing says they can last a lifetime and be passed down through generations. Its range also includes old Halloween, Mother's Day and Valentine's Day posters and early aerial views of Manhattan, Boston, Chicago and San Francisco for display or gifts.
