	Vintage National Parks Poster Circa 1930 Original serigraph poster for National Parks Winter Sports by Dorothy Waugh, circa 1930. This was a WPA production and includes Waugh's name at the bottom. With a black background, the poster uses blue, white, pink and puce shadowing. Waugh's style was obviously influenced by the great advertising artists in Europe at the time, making her work look more modern than typical American commercial art. Dorothy Waugh studied at the Chicago Art Institute. After graduation, she worked in a commercial art studio in Chicago. Upon relocating to New York, she was manager of the children's book department at Alfred A. Knopf. In addition to her work at Knopf she was production supervisor of the National Park Service as well as doing copy, layout and artwork. In the late 1930's she was appointed special lecturer and critic to the New York School of Fine and Applied Art. While there she also taught typography and design.

He made a name for himself as a great Indian-associated artist. He later came to know Frank Linderman, who was a Montana lover as well, and the two paired up to compile brochures of the people and area with great essays and paintings. In near original condition with 24 images, and a 12-page booklet by Linderman of the history of the Blackfeet. Price: $125.00
