Thanks to the Library of Congress, America's greatest time-wasting resource, for these 49 icons cropped from WPA posters.

I've never had a perfect icon for Wisconsin posts until this moment.

Hee, I'm glad you took that one! I tried not to futz with the colors too much on most of them (to keep them vintagey), but when I hit 'auto-level' on that one the results were so goll-durn charming I had to keep it that way.

Since I don't have a reading icon either, when I get home, I think I'm going to snag the "It's raining books" icon in the fifth row.

Your icon makes me want to sing "Hiphopapotamus and Rhymenocerous."

These are seriously great. Prepare to see many of them in my collection.

I ♥ mid-century design. And there are like 900 more posters to go all crop-crazy on, wheeee!

These are so awesome. The only problem is now I have to figure out which of my icons to delete in order to use these!

(The blue "See America" one-- I have the postcard for it and have always loved it.)

Heh, I haven't even decided which ones to upload myself. I love those big horn sheep, though.

I heart these all.

[anxietygrrl]

Yay. :) More to come, I hope.

Got linked here by Jess a while ago and am now grabbing several of them. I love them all. Thank you!

You're quite welcome!
