Speaking of onward, I simply cannot wait to use this picture:
Probably some of you are familiar with this image, which is from the famous WPA posters collection from the late 1930's and early 1940's. A good many of them have to do with reading, and I love them all, but especially this one. To me, it perfectly captures the feeling you get as the weather turns a little colder (and here in South Mississippi, the occurrence of cooler weather in October is a cause for general rejoicing) and you want nothing more than to be left alone with a good book, spooky or otherwise.
I like this one for September too, but it's too late to use it (sigh):
What kinds of things do you associate with Autumn and reading?
Found your blog via the Classics Circuit...interesting that you have a post about WPA posters!
ReplyDeleteI had thought that the WPA only built bridges and the like -- until I recently read "America Eats!" about how they researched food traditions.
Apparently, thethe WPA also had employees design cool posters, too!
