Between 1935 and 1943, the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) created over two million posters, showcasing 35 thousand distinct designs. These creations aimed to captivate the public’s imagination and promote education, theater, health, safety, and travel, including 14 designs featuring national park units. While a mere 1,400 WPA national park posters were originally produced, only 40 of these original pieces were preserved, thanks to the efforts of then-ranger Doug Leen.

With the revival of the distinctive WPA style, many national parks enlisted Ranger Doug to continue this series. The result is contemporary designs embodying the spirit of the original WPA pieces, and are a great way to bring vintage charm to contemporary spaces. There is only one authentic source for these WPA-inspired artworks and WNPA takes pride in offering these designs featuring our partner parks for purchase.

This Carlsbad Caverns National Park poster pays homage to the iconic “See America” project commissioned by the US Travel Bureau. It features an image of the cave’s Big Room, the largest single cavern by volume in North America, and known for its stunning column formations. This poster is meticulously crafted in the WPA style through serigraphy—a technique that uses stencils to transfer ink onto paper. Each poster is a masterpiece of precision and color and makes a perfect gift for a national park lover in your life, or an addition to an office or part of your home.

  • Official park poster approved by the National Park Service for Carlsbad Caverns National Park
  • High-quality, hand-screened serigraph poster
