Founded in 2001, it says it was the first company 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 internet customers. It was selected as a vendor for the White House redecoration project in 2008.

Lithography, a technique that enabled inexpensive mass production of prints, was invented in 1796.

The company's range also includes old holiday posters and early aerial views of Manhattan, Boston, Chicago and San Francisco, offered as home, study or workplace decor and as gifts. SKU: sku-13234700488. UPC: 469376233649.
