> The WPA
One of my favorite slices of vintage americana are posters created during the 1930’s-1940’s by various artists commissioned by the Work Projects Administration (WPA) as part of President Roosevelt’s “New Deal” initiative. Many of the artists worked in a very simplified graphic illustration style with bold hand-lettered typography. The original silkscreen, lithograph and woodcut posters not only had great eye appeal but were assuredly very effective in publicizing health and safety programs; cultural programs including art exhibitions, theatrical, and musical performances; travel and tourism; educational programs; and community activities throughout the United States.

> WPA Fine Art Reproduction Prints
Over the years I have been adding several WPA posters to my own personal digital design inspiration library. I recently decided to share some of my favorites with others as these have so much appeal to not only graphic designers, illustrators, typographers, artists, etc. but anyone with an appreciation of great design and history.
Much time has been spent processing and cleaning up digital scans of these original posters to provide you rich prints packed with color and longevity. I am super pleased with the quality of these prints and the archival bamboo fine art paper on which they are made. It is not at all "earthy" but a soft white hue with a gentle fine art texture that is quite pristine.
