The Works Progress Administration (WPA) posters of the 1930’s encouraged the public to “See America” through our national parks. But the parks that protect the landscape we see by day, also preserve our view of star filled skies at night. Today this new series of posters once again reminds of the beauty our parks protect.

Between 1935 and 1945 the WPA Federal Art Project printed over two million posters in 35,000 different designs to stir the public’s imagination for education, theater, health, safety, and travel. Due to their fragile nature only two thousand posters have survived. The National Park image shown here is also available in the original poster format from many National Park Bookstores.
