It measures 18 x 24 inches. UPC: 467776438121. The company restores historical maps, photos and prints from Library of Congress archives for home display.

Founded in 2001, it says it was the first company to offer Library of Congress images as fine-art reproduction prints. Its buyers have included over 200 bookstores and other retailers, tens of thousands of online customers, and the White House redecoration project of 2008. The print uses archival paper and pigmented inks, materials intended to last for generations.

Lithography, developed in 1796, made inexpensive mass production of prints possible. The Library of Congress began its American Memory pilot in 1989; that work laid the foundation for the National Digital Library Program, which began in 1995 and digitizes selected collections about American cultural heritage.
