Buckingham Fountain glows against a deep cobalt-blue Chicago night in this dramatic WPA-era poster. Brilliant white and yellow streams of water rise above the illuminated fountain while the city skyline forms a nearly black silhouette in the distance, creating a striking contrast between architecture, water, and light.

Produced by the Federal Art Project in Illinois, the design promotes Buckingham Fountain on Chicago’s lake front as an attraction that was “Always Free.” Its limited blue, black, yellow, green, and cream palette, streamlined typography, simplified skyline, and monumental composition capture the distinctive graphic language of American public posters of the 1930s.
