Many of the Department of the Interior / National Parks Service, WPA era posters feature destinations or scenic natural wonders in America's National Parks (Mount Rainier, Old Faithful, etc), but they seem to focus more on the Western Parks. Here, for what most likely would be the Adirondacks, the Federal Art Project provides a warning for family campers.
