Description
This page is part of a Library of Congress site featuring a collection of WPA posters created during the New Deal era. The posters were selected with an eye toward their design, representation of a variety of states and artists, and as a way of featuring those that have not been widely published. These examples demonstrate the breadth and depth of the collection and the styles and content used by the WPA to advertise varied programs and campaigns.
