The company reproduces historical maps, photographs and prints restored from Library of Congress archives, using archival paper and pigmented inks intended to last for generations. Founded in 2001, it says it was the first company to offer Library of Congress images as fine-art reproduction prints.

Its customers include over 200 bookstores and other retailers, along with tens of thousands of online buyers. It was selected as a vendor for a White House redecoration project in 2008. Lithography was invented in 1796 and made inexpensive mass-produced prints possible.

The company's prints include vintage posters and early aerial views of Manhattan, Boston, Chicago and San Francisco, offered for display or as gifts.
