Every size drawn to scale on one wall, above the sofa in a photographed room. Sizes are the canvas; a frame adds a little on every side.
Print proof — This is the exact file our printer receives for this size, so what you see here is what gets printed, edge to edge. Use it to see how much margin a size leaves and, before you buy a large size, to check the sharpness in the 100% close-up.

The file
Actual pixels at this size
Colors on a screen can look slightly different from ink on canvas. This file goes to the printer automatically when you order, and your piece ships straight from the print studio to you.
Living room 1 / 9
Wall color
Rooms to scale: each was measured against a 5 ft 6 in figure, so the print is drawn at its true size against the furniture. Rooms and people are generated images. Swipe the room, tap a dot, or press Next room to see the print in another room. Drag the print to try another spot (or move it with the arrow keys); switch sizes above to compare.
Step 1 — set the scale. Drag the slider until the gold bar on the photo is the height of a standard doorway (80 in / 203 cm). Every size you pick is then drawn true to life.
Step 2 — drag the print to where it would hang, and change size or frame above to compare.

See America Welcome to Montana WPA Poster
The story of this poster
The Travel Bureau’s “See America” series gave each participating state a sheet, and Montana got two. Richard Halls’s version is the cooler of the pair: a snow-capped peak with a glacier in its lap, a lake in flat blue, a screen of pines, and a small camp of tipis in the foreground, with the slogan set in the studio’s tall letters along the bottom.
It was silkscreened on board by the WPA Federal Art Project in New York in 1936. The Library of Congress copy keeps its black mount and the studio’s color bar. The scan was cleaned and color-corrected digitally while keeping the paper tone.
The scan supports a modest size, so this is a piece for a smaller wall: an entry, a cabin or a reading corner. Pairs with Rothstein’s Montana sheet from the same year.
Printed to order on canvas, as a float frame, classic frame, stretched or rolled canvas.
What we did to this scan
Squared off the scanner’s margins to the edge of the printed sheet.
Balanced the levels and took out the scanner’s color cast, keeping 65% of the paper’s age tone.
Cleaned dust and specks picked up by the scanner.
A light sharpen, so fine lines and lettering hold at large sizes.
Every print is credited to its archive here and in your order confirmation. Paper tone and small imperfections of the original are kept on purpose; nothing is redrawn. How we restore.
Questions
What does the poster show?
A snow-capped peak above a lake, pines and a camp of tipis in the foreground, in the flat greens, blues and creams of the New York Federal Art Project, with SEE AMERICA — WELCOME TO MONTANA lettered across the bottom.
Is this an original WPA poster?
No. It is a new canvas print of a restored, full-resolution scan of the public-domain original silkscreen poster held by the Library of Congress. Original WPA posters survive in very small numbers; we never sell originals.
Where does this image come from?
From the original Works Progress Administration poster held by the Library of Congress, printed for the National Park Service and photographed by the archive at full resolution. It is a work of the United States government, free for anyone to reproduce, and the archive's own record is linked in the provenance panel further down this page.
Which sizes are offered?
Only sizes that fit the poster's own proportions and that the scan supports without upscaling; the size picker lists them. Nothing is cropped or upscaled.
Does it come framed?
It is printed to order on canvas. You can choose a float frame canvas, a classic frame canvas, a stretched canvas or a rolled canvas, with each frame in Black, or in Antique Gold where the picker offers it. The size and finish picker shows which are made for this piece.
Colors vary a little between screens and canvas. The previews are drawn, not photographed, and are a close match to the printed piece.
