Measuring 17-7/8" x 21-7/8", the image itself is 16" x 20". This beautiful piece is a testament to the Library's rich archives and the skilled preservation of America's cultural heritage.

Snapshots of the Past, founded in 2001, was the pioneering company to offer these Library of Congress images as museum-quality, fine-art reproduction prints. With over 200 bookstores and tens of thousands of Internet customers as prominent buyers, the company has established itself as a trusted provider of these tasteful and digitally restored artworks.

The development of printing techniques, particularly the invention of lithography in 1796, paved the way for a revolution in the history of poster prints, allowing for inexpensive and mass production. In 1989, the Library of Congress initiated a pilot project called American Memory, which laid the foundation for the National Digital Library Program that began in 1995. This program works tirelessly to digitize selected collections, showcasing the complex and captivating history of American cultural heritage.

Reproduction prints from Snapshots of the Past are created using some of the most respected brands of fine art and archival paper in the industry. These prints, made with archival paper and pigmented inks, can be enjoyed for a lifetime and passed down for generations to come, ensuring the enduring legacy of these historic artworks.

Displaying these vintage posters, whether they depict old Halloween, Mother's, or Valentine's Day imagery, or capture the earliest aerial views of iconic American cities, can serve as a captivating conversation starter. The retro style of these prints adds an air of elegance to any home, study, or workplace, making them not only stunning decor pieces but also thoughtful and unique gifts.

The partnership between Snapshots of the Past and the Library of Congress has resulted in a remarkable collection of museum-quality reproductions, preserving and sharing the rich tapestry of America's cultural history with art enthusiasts and discerning collectors alike. These prints serve as a testament to the enduring power of art to inspire, educate, and connect us to the past, ensuring that the stories and memories of America's heritage will continue to be celebrated and cherished for generations to come.
