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, as well as tens of thousands of internet customers. It was selected as a vendor for the White House redecoration project in 2008. Lithography, invented in 1796, made inexpensive mass production of posters possible.

The Library of Congress began its American Memory pilot project in 1989; that project laid the foundation for the National Digital Library Program, which began in 1995 and digitizes selected collections focused on American cultural history. The reproductions use fine-art archival paper and pigmented inks intended to last for generations.

The range includes old Halloween, Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day posters and early aerial views of Manhattan, Boston, Chicago and San Francisco; the prints can be displayed at home, in a study or at work, or given as gifts.
