This is a wonderful American historical pictorial piece of the New Deal WPA (Works Project Administration) era. Created by the National Industrial Recovery Act on June 16, 1933, the Public Works Administration (PWA) was budgeted several billion dollars tfor construction of public works as a means of providing employment, improving public welfare, and starting a revival of American industry. When FDR moved industry toward war production and abandoned his opposition to deficit spending, the PWA became irrelevant and was abolished in June 1941. 

This old poster is an illustrative look at many of the works completed by the PWA. The detail is very fine and an interesting historical piece. The illustrations exemplify Waterway development, Conservation, Bridges, Housing Development, Flood control, Hospitals, Health, Schools, Museums, Defense, Power, Transportation and many more projects. The poster is archivally linen backed and ready for framing. We have this one on linen, and 6 more off linen, mint. We bought these years ago from an old 1930's printer's lot, mint. rare and beautiful.
