This striking WPA wildlife poster celebrates the early conservation mission of the National Park Service with a bold, minimalist depiction of two bighorn sheep standing proudly atop a rocky outcrop. Set against a warm, amber sunrise (or sunset) that fades from golden yellow to deep orange, the scene feels both serene and iconic - an idealized vision of America’s protected wilderness during the New Deal era.
The artwork uses strong silhouettes and simplified shapes typical of the Federal Art Project, giving the sheep an almost sculptural presence. Their elevated perch overlooks a quiet lake and distant mountains, reinforcing the message printed below: “THE NATIONAL PARKS PRESERVE WILD LIFE.” It’s a timeless reminder of why these protected landscapes matter; not just for exploration, but for safeguarding the animals that define them.
This piece has a warm, dramatic palette and a noble, contemplative tone. Perfect for anyone who loves wildlife art, vintage conservation posters, or classic WPA design.
