Cincinnati's construction trades are the focus of this silkscreen poster, which sets it apart from the broader industrial and labor themes on the board. Made under the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration, it uses color silkscreen, a method the program favored because it was affordable and allowed artists to print bold designs in quantity. Posters like this informed the public about trades and job opportunities during the Depression, when many people were looking for work or training. The date stamped on the back, June 23, 1937, places it in the program's middle years.
