• Inspired by artist Dorothy Waugh’s 1936 Art Deco WPA poster promoting America’s national parks, our shot glass features a serene mountain scene with a lone fisherman casting into still waters. The timeless quote reads:

  “The adventures of today are the memories of tomorrow.”

  Whether you’re enjoying a nightcap under the stars or raising a toast at home, this vintage-inspired design brings a little wanderlust to every pour—indoors or out.

During World Wars I and II, many branches of the federal government used posters to urge Americans to support the war effort. In a time without TV or the internet, posters were an inexpensive way to deliver powerful messages to millions of people. The government hired well-known artists to create designs that unified the American people, and new posters are still in production. These posters serve as significant historical artifacts that document the efforts to mobilize and inspire the American public during the World Wars.

Due to the mandatory transfer of records from federal agencies, the National Archives acquired a significant collection of famous posters that were created by the federal government.

The National Archives preserves more than 50,000 posters in its Still Picture holdings.
