National Parks Preserve Wild Life 1939 Vintage WPA Poster

Designed by artist J. Hirt in 1939 for the National Park Service under the WPA Federal Art Project, this poster captures two bighorn sheep silhouetted against a glowing sunset ridge, promoting the Park Service's founding mission of wildlife preservation. It's a genuinely notable piece within the WPA collection — this exact design has been exhibited at the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center as a highlight of Depression-era public art.

Restored from the Library of Congress archival scan, preserving the original warm orange and slate palette.
