The History of National Park Posters
This episode of Big Blend Radio's WORLD OF ART Podcast with artist Victoria Chick focuses on the history of National Park Posters. These icon collectibles originated in the 1930s and early 1940s as part of the WPA Federal Art Project, which began as part of the effort to recover from the Great Depression.
