Our Favorite WPA Tourism Posters From The 1930s
When Franklin D. Roosevelt enacted the New Deal policies in 1933, he created a plethora of jobs and niches for workers to fill. The artwork that came from the Works Progress Administration Art Project survives as some of the most recognizable artwork produced in the 1930s in America. Here are some of our favorite WPA posters depicting national parks and various landmarks.
We love it that one of the styles used was this paint-by-number story book type of design. Some of the posters were promoting a specific city or even U.S. territories. It wasn’t all about the national parks!
