As part of FDR’s New Deal in the 1930’s, the Works Progress Administration created posters to promote the US’s various national parks. These posters are amazing, and the national parks now sell them in miniature form as postcards.
As an avid postcard sender, I’ve seen a lot of postcards in my day, and these are absolutely gorgeous.
You can search the interwebs if you want to see them — search “wpa national parks posters” in the googles. They’re all so good! Here are my favourites.




Three of these four are my contemporary designs which can be found at http://www.rangerdoug.com. Feel free to use these in your blog however, the Lassen is the only original WPA design. Can you give me a credit/link? Thanks. Ranger Doug “Ranger of the Lost Art”
