Get to Work! (Show and Tell)

For this week's show and tell -- an example of a call to action -- I dug into a fantastic archive of Works Progress Administration posters maintained by the Library of Congress. The WPA was a New Deal-era agency that put millions to work on public works projects, and advocated social wellness and welfare. They're great examples of the words and images of the '30s and '40s. I included a few of the posters below, but the LOC site has over 900 on display. If you've got some time, swing on by. Very cool.
