As the nation faced the challenges brought about by the 1929 Wall Street Crash and the subsequent Great Depression, Franklin D. Roosevelt's government implemented programs to support the countless Americans who had lost their jobs. Among these was The Works Progress Administration, and its division - the Federal Arts Project, which focused on creating art that sparked interest in exploring the natural wonders and unique attractions across the country.
One of the posters produced under this project is the iconic "See America" WPA poster, which prominently features Carlsbad Caverns at night. Capturing the breathtaking beauty of the caverns, this poster entices viewers to embark on adventures and discover the diverse landscapes the country has to offer. National Parks Partnership has carefully restored the black and white and color scans of the original poster, resulting in a version that closely mirrors the colors and appearance of the initial artwork. This "See America" WPA poster, showcasing Carlsbad Caverns at night, serves as a stunning reminder of the rich and varied landscapes that can be found across the United States, and the role of art in inspiring exploration and appreciation of these natural wonders.
