Vintage Federal Art WPA Style Travel Poster You are bidding on a beautiful WPA National Parks poster. This poster is not a cheap reprint but rather a high quality print on thick paper stock taken directly from the SOLD OUT 2017 Calendar. If you’ve ever been to a national park and stopped off in the gift shop, you may have seen drawings of iconic park sights for sale as posters or post cards. The brightly colored print reproductions showcase the parks’ impressive vistas, such as Yellowstone’s Old Faithful geyser and the Grand Canyon’s overlooks.The originals of some of those prints are currently on display in an exhibit called «Posterity» at the U.S. Department of the Interior in Washington, D.C. Curator Tracy Baetz explains that the silk screen printed posters — known as serigraph — were done by Works Progress Administration artists for the National Park Service from 1938 to 1941.»There were 14 original designs; we have six of those originals here,» Baetz says. There may have been 1,400 or so originals, but only about 40 are known to survive.»The first one that they produced was this sort of experimental one in 1938 for the Grand Teton National Park,» she says. The poster reads: «Meet the Ranger Naturalist at Jenny Lake Museum» and shows a steep alpine landscape, clear waters and blue skies.Not much is known about the original artists except that they worked at a Park Service office in Berkeley, Calif. The project ended with the onset of World War II and the posters were all but forgotten until the day a seasonal park ranger named Doug Leen came across one at the Grand Teton National Park.Print Measures 16 1/2″ X 13 1/4″ – Visible Art Measures 15 1/2″ x 11 1/4″Ready to frame this print will add class and character to virtually any room in your house!I have several more of those beautiful prints so please take a look at my other listings. Will combine shipping on multiple orders.
