From Vintage Art Printers' collection of classic WPA posters, this print is a wonderful piece of American history. During the Great Depression, President Franklin D. Roosevelt created the Works Progress Administration as a strategy for putting Americans back to work. The WPA had a lasting effect on the United States — roads, trails, buildings, and posters that reveal the ideas and values of the times. WPA artists created posters that promoted public health, encouraged economic development, advertised theatrical performances and art shows, and helped Americans cope with the challenges of the depression. This classic print is a timeless piece of Americana. Its bold colors and strong imagery reveal everyday life in the United States. Make it yours today.
