About This Item
Seattle, WA/Salt Lake City, UT: Ranger Doug Enterprises/Paragon Press. Hardcover. Fine/fine. A stupendous volume that documents Douglas "Ranger Doug" Leen's decades-long quest to preserve and celebrate the unique contributions of the Work Projects Administration (WPA) to visual arts in our National Parks in the 1930s and 1940s. Leen has extended that tradition into the present with his company's production of additional National Park posters drawing inspiration from the original 14 posters that he has found and preserved. A fascinating story, this volume is signed by "Ranger Doug" on the title page. First Printing. xvii, 206 pp. Folio. Clean, crisp copy with dust jacket in mylar cover. Brown ribbon binding and miniature silkscreen print of Grand Teton National Park inserted in tipped in folder at rear.
