Tasteful and Restored

Snapshots of the Past, founded in 2001, was the first company to offer Library of Congress images as museum-quality fine-art reproduction prints. Our collection includes prominent buyers such as over 200 bookstores and other retailers, as well as tens of thousands of Internet customers. The company was also selected as a vendor for the White House redecoration project in 2008, ensuring our prints meet the highest standards of quality and appeal.

Innovative Printing Techniques

Explore the revolution in poster prints with the invention of lithography in 1796. The development of printing techniques allowed for the inexpensive and widespread production of posters. In 1989, the Library of Congress launched a pilot project titled "American Memory," which laid the foundation for the National Digital Library Program in 1995. This program works to preserve and digitize significant collections, capturing the rich history of American cultural heritage.

Museum-Quality Prints

Our reproduction prints are crafted using some of the industry's finest brands of fine art and archival paper. Archival ink ensures that these prints can be enjoyed for generations to come. You can create a timeless ambiance in your home, study, or workplace with a piece from our collection.

Great Gifts
