The Library of Congress collection includes 908 original posters produced as part of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New Deal. Of 2,000 WPA posters known to exist, the LOC’s collection of more than 900 is the largest, the site explains. I simply searched by keywords for topics like “trees” and “farms” and “flowers,” but there are nearly 900 more to be enjoyed, on other subjects.
I was a garden blog pioneer, and began writing on this blog in 2003. Before that I had begun a garden website that has been at its own domain since 2006, Ilona's Garden.
I still love writing, gardening, and art after all these years, although travel and grandchildren have become a big part of my life, now.

Thanks 🙂 Actually Margaret found it and wrote a post- I just did the “blogger thing” and shared the goods with my beloved readers here.
That is what blogging used to be more about than it is today- now the community feeling is more parochial than global. Twitter sort of stole the thunder on “sharing”. I’m for taking back some of that into our blogging. I like the clipmarks for that.
Wow. didn’t mean to go all preachy on that. Loved the posters and hope you all are as entertained by the funny stuff as I seem to be…LOL!
And one of the things I always loved about comments- it reminds me to go and visit someone’s blog…hopping over to yours right now 🙂 And chuck’s back 40 too … see you guys.
Very cool. Thanks for spreading the word.
I knew the Library keep many things but I never thought of posters on agriculture.You find the funnest things Ilona.
