Background:

These unique school posters were printed in the United States in the late 1930s.  The posters taught children - particularly those of families who recently immigrated to the States - about our culture, and good character and citizenship traits.

Many of the posters identify the name of a teacher, the school they taught at and the location of the school.  The concepts for the posters were submitted by these educators.

The period graphics shown on the posters are representative of the designs of other published works from the 1930s.
