Located in the Fairmount Park area of Philadelphia, The William Penn House is the subject a colorful poster that was created to promote tourism and visiting the City of Philadelphia. The poster is part of the body of work created by the Federal Arts Project in Pennsylvania, a branch of the Works Progress Administration, President Franklin D. Roosevelt's massive work-relief effort to combat unemployment during the Great Depression. The Federal Arts Project employed artists to create murals, sculptures, paintings, and posters. In its peak years, 1936 to 1938, the Federal Arts Project employed 5,000 artists across the country, at a salary of $95 a month. They created murals, sculptures and paintings, taught community art classes to millions, and produced 2 million posters from 35,000 designs at a cost of about a dime each. A small fraction of the posters remain today. An Original Vintage Poster which hangs in the Buffalo River library, has been archivally scanned and enhanced. We offer this Museum Quality Giclée Reproduction Print.
