This vintage original 1972 poster is one of the first to be issued by the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA was established by Presidency of Richard Nixon and began operations in December of 1970. This poster has a 1972 copyright by the USGPO printed in the lower margin dating to the early days of that agency which were characterized by an enormous sense of purpose and excitement. This poster features a small child sitting near a pond with the caption:

The natural balance between man and his fellow creatures, between man and his resources, between man and the earth must be redressed. In this distant but foreseeable day, man will know peace.

This poster shows light toning from age and modest handling wear. Overall condition is very good.
