This dramatic WPA-era poster captures the raw, untamed energy of Lassen Volcanic National Park with a bold, stylized depiction of an erupting peak rising over Manzanita Lake. Billowing ash clouds unfold into the sky, framed by sunset tones of gold, mauve, and smoky brown—an atmospheric palette that echoes the park’s geothermal mystique. In the foreground, still water reflects the towering silhouette, while evergreens create a striking contrast against the pastel mountain slopes. Designed to promote the Ranger Naturalist Service, the poster promises lectures, hikes, campfire programs, and a full summer season of exploration.
It’s an evocative reminder of early conservation-era optimism—when the federal government invited Americans to discover landscapes shaped by fire, ice, and time. The print’s sharp linework and vintage color blocks make it a standout piece for collectors who appreciate national park history, retro travel art, or dramatic natural scenery.
