See America WPA Poster (Large Timed Edition)

Six color screen printed poster by Alexander Dux.24"x32" on 100# Cougar WhiteWe're excited to kick off this mini-series of WPA prints with one of our favorite posters of all time: Alexander Dux's 'See America' poster. This print has been a constant source of inspiration and wonder for two decades. Here's a funny story: we've spent the last few years explaining to everyone that our posters are not WPA reprints and are not meant to be replicas or a throw back. The idea for our initial series is a contemporary take on the travel posters for parks. Well, now we've gone and made a reproduction of Alexander Dux's beautiful WPA poster. So, is Fifty-Nine Parks a remake of the old WPA posters? Here's the new answer: In addition to our contemporary take on classic travel posters we have also reproduced a handful of our favorite posters from the WPA era. All the type was redrawn by hand just as it would have been in the 30's. That means you'll find plenty of beautiful typographic excentricities
