In the wake of the 1929 Wall Street Crash and the subsequent Great Depression, Franklin D. Roosevelt's government introduced programs to aid the millions of Americans who had lost their jobs. One such initiative, The Works Progress Administration, and its division - the Federal Arts Project - were charged with developing art that carried powerful messages and promoted social awareness during these difficult times.
This ”Don't Kill Wildlife" WPA travel poster stands out as a striking and meaningful piece. National Parks Partnership has meticulously restored the black and white and color scans of the original poster, resulting in a version that closely mirrors the colors and appearance of the authentic artwork. This poster not only serves as a vivid reminder of a crucial period in American history but also advocates for the protection and preservation of wildlife for future generations.
