This is a printed announcement rather than a picture of plants or landscape, promoting a 1939 exhibition at the Federal Art Gallery in Boston. The gallery was part of the Federal Art Project, a branch of the Works Progress Administration that employed artists during the Great Depression. The project's poster division produced inexpensive announcements for exhibitions, concerts and plays across the country. Posters like this were meant to be pasted on walls and read at a glance, so their bold lettering and simplified imagery served a practical purpose as well as an artistic one.
