Snapshots of the Past Wall Art L | sku-13287261152

Snapshots of the Past Wall Art in Black, size L, depicts the McGill Institute at 252 Government Street in Mobile, Alabama. The historic print measures 16" x 20". The company was founded in 2001 and says it was the first to offer Library of Congress images as museum-quality fine-art reproductions.

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 in 2008. The reproductions draw on archival maps, photographs and prints restored from the Library of Congress. Lithography was invented in 1796.

The Library's American Memory pilot began in 1989 and laid the groundwork for the National Digital Library Program, which began in 1995 to digitize selected collections focused on American cultural history. The prints use fine-art archival paper and pigmented inks and are intended to last for generations.

The collection also includes old holiday posters and early aerial views of Manhattan, Boston, Chicago and San Francisco. SKU sku-13287261152; UPC 461030545730.
