WPA Museum Extension Project Print CHARLES II Framed

We’re selling some interesting original authentic Works Project Administration WPA art from the 1930’s. This print from the MUSEUM EXTENSION PROJECT, which was a section that was created to help public schools obtain visual education aids designed to give “life and reality to the things children study.”

The print depicts the historical costumes titled CHARLES II – LOUIS XIV, 1660 AD to 1715 AD. Plate No 58 from the series.

The print particulars are:

  • It is matted and framed under glass. Glass was highly reflective making photography difficult; any shading you see is from reflection, NOT on print!
  • Visible print size measures 18″ x 24″, total size framed is 26″ x 32″.

  1. I have a number of prints from this series that came from the Indianapolis Children’s Museum forty or more years ago when they were moving and discarding some pretty neat things. Two questions: What can you tell me or where can I find out more about them? Do you have any interest in them?
