Nice, I was going to say that it has a very art-deco/WPA style to it.

WPA?

I’m guessing War Propaganda Art...?

Works Progress/Projects Administration. It was the New Deal program that employed millions of people during the great depression. On part was Federal Project Number One, that employed artists, musicians, etc. The artists produced posters to promote various aspects of the WPA project, local art events, public health, etc. Most had a very distinctive art style.

That’s really interesting! Now that I think of it I remember seeing some FDR-mandated posters aimed at farmers in The Art Deco Poster (excellent book, I highly recommend it)
