Cincinnati's construction trades are the subject of this 1936 tempera poster, which the record ties specifically to the city's building industry in the 1930s. Designed by Blanche L. Anish under the Federal Art Project, it belongs to the Works Progress Administration's poster output, when federal artists produced bold, legible images to publicize public programs, classes, and community events during the Depression. Its title, *Occupations related to industrial arts*, reflects the period's emphasis on trade skills as a route to steady work. The date stamped on the back, November 27, 1936, places it during that busy stretch of the program.
