13 1/2” X 18 5/8”  Serigraph poster; historic design & colors.  This was the first poster designed by the Federal Art Project’s Poster Division for the national parks; printed in 1938.  It is just four colors and artistically unique in that it doesn’t carry the Ranger Naturalist Service Banner as do most others.  It also has stylized fonts and features Jenny Lake, Cascade Canyon and the Jenny Lake Museum. Only three copies have survived:  The first copy found in a Jackson, Wyoming barn now resides in the NPS Archives in Harpers Ferry WV.  A second copy turned up in Los Angeles about 2004 which I purchased and donated back to Grand Teton National Park, now archived in Tucson.  This very clean copy (with a blank area for the campfire schedule) has notes on the back tying it to the Strawberry CCC Camp in 1939.   A third copy was discovered about 1990 in White Sand NM cut to fit into a plant press.

An original hangs in that museum today in the summer season.  Another in the park archives was found in White Sands National Monument–cut up as coardboard for a plant press!  A third is in a private collection.
