Places for the People: WPA Travel Posters at Carpenters’ Hall

Carpenters’ Hall will host a temporary exhibition of historic travel posters featuring iconic Philadelphia and Pennsylvania landmarks curated by and in partnership with Posters for the People.  Images of the Betsy Ross House, Memorial Hall, Fairmount Park, and Independence Hall are some of the highlights on display from this 1930s commissioned project. The posters come from the collections of the Free Library of Philadelphia’s Print & Picture Collection and Ennis Carter, director of Posters for the People and author of Posters for the People: Art of the WPA.
