EDITORS COMMENTS
Hiking in the Great Outdoors: A New Deal Initiative for Recreational Pursuits - Hiking WPA Recreation Project, District No. 2 This evocative poster, created between 1936 and 1939, showcases the spirit of adventure and camaraderie that defined the Hiking WPA Recreation Project in District No. 2. The Work Progress Administration (WPA) was a New Deal program established in response to the Great Depression, providing employment opportunities for millions of unemployed Americans. The Recreation Division of the WPA aimed to improve public access to outdoor recreational areas and promote physical activity, creating jobs for artists, writers, and other professionals in the process. The central image on this poster features a determined woman, clad in practical hiking boots and a backpack, ascending a rocky trail. The rugged terrain, lush foliage, and clear blue sky evoke the natural beauty of the great outdoors, while the woman's confident stride and uplifted gaze suggest the sense of accomplishment and freedom that comes from conquering a challenging hike. The text surrounding the image reads, "Hiking Trails - WPA Recreation Project, District No. 2," emphasizing the role of the WPA in creating and maintaining these scenic trails. The poster also includes a map of the district, highlighting various hiking trails and points of interest. This poster is a testament to the enduring appeal of the great outdoors and the importance of public recreational spaces. It also serves as a reminder of the transformative power of government initiatives like the WPA, which not only provided jobs during a time of economic hardship but also left a lasting legacy in the form of public infrastructure and cultural works.
