‘This poster was created by L.N. Britton circa 1918. It promotes food and resource conservation.’
Many years ago I found a small brochure at the National Archives building in San Bruno, CA. From it I ordered a bunch of inexpensive reproductions of early 20s century posters (pictured) – direct from the government. Framed, they looked great in my first apartment.
Everything is now online. All around 10 bucks a pop.
‘A collection of WPA-era US Travel Bureau Posters as reinterpreted and screen printed by Providence’s Head Light Hotel’
Available thru Tiny Showcase: Reproductions of 1930s ‘See America’ poster art.
So much cooler than the current government-sanctioned offerings of Brand USA, Inc.
