The lower margin is printed “Executed By Federal Arts Project” denoting the WPA.  This is an unrestored and moderately used poster in very good condition.  The poster shows a pinhole on each corner and at the center top and bottom margin.  The poster was neatly folded into quarters and shows some wear to the fold lines, some toning and light bumping to the edges in places.  Overall condition is very good.  Contact us for additional condition information as may be needed.
