This week I am inspired by the approximately 2000 posters produced as part of FDR's New Deal.

Created between 1936 to 1943, these posters use silkscreen, lithograph and woodcut to promote health, safety, culture, travel, the war effort and education.

The Library of Congress currently has 908 of 2000 posters that are known to exist. For more information visit the Library of Congress's website. Also, check out this set on Flickr.
They are all great, but I love the one in the top row on the far right. Great selection - thanks for sharing.
