Vintage WPA Posters


I've come across these vintage Works Project Administration (WPA) posters every now and then, and I love the bold colors, graphic shapes and silhouettes featured on many of them. About 900 of the 2,000 created between 1936 and 1943 have been digitized and are available for download on the Library of Congress website. I spent quite a while on Saturday perusing the archives...such a wealth of inspiration.
