Among the Work Projects Administration posters, this one stands out for its plain offer of cookery instruction at New Trier's evening school, held Wednesdays from 7:30 to 9:30. Printed in silkscreen in 1936 under the Federal Art Project, it reflects a period when government-sponsored artists produced posters promoting community education and practical skills during the Depression. A date stamp on the back, March 25, 1941, shows that copies stayed in circulation and in use for years after their first printing. The bold flat color and simple lettering were typical of the silkscreen work the program encouraged.
