Founded in 2001, the company says it was the first to offer Library of Congress images as museum-quality reproduction prints. Its buyers have included 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. Lithography, invented in 1796, helped make mass-produced prints inexpensive.

A 1989 Library of Congress pilot project called American Memory laid the foundation for the National Digital Library Program, which began in 1995 and digitizes selected collections about American cultural history. The company's other prints include holiday posters and early aerial views of Manhattan, Boston, Chicago and San Francisco; they can be displayed at home or at work or given as gifts.
