Announcing an exhibition in Pennsylvania, this 1936 color woodcut was sponsored by the Federal Art Project, part of the Works Progress Administration. The WPA put artists to work during the Depression, and its poster units produced announcements like this one for shows and events across the country. The print is signed in pencil by the artist, Milhous, who is Katherine Milhous, a Pennsylvania illustrator later honored with the Caldecott Medal for her children's book *The Egg Tree*.
