Frame

Spare Our Trees is Stanley Thomas Clough’s bold 1938 WPA conservation poster, centered on a stylized cluster of serrated leaves and a rounded seed or fruit form. Deep navy and vivid blue divide the botanical shapes into crisp areas of color, while pale veins and a dark branching stem stand against the quiet cream background.

Produced in Ohio by the Federal Art Project, the design uses a remarkably restrained composition to communicate its environmental message. Generous negative space keeps attention on the foliage, while widely spaced black lettering simply states “Spare Our Trees.” The combination of botanical imagery, limited color and screen-printed geometry gives the work a distinctive example of American WPA graphic design devoted to conservation.
