The great depression was a with out a doubt one of the most significant periods in history and there are some really great posters about the period.

I think that the most moving poster is the one pictured above. It features the famous image of the destitute migrant mother with her children, travelling deparately in the search for any sort of work or employment.

This poster really brings across how bad things were for people during the great depression and how the economic crisis affected everyone, including familes and children.

However in terms of actual information about the great depression in the USA, this poster below is probably the best.

It gives a good overview of the period and it illustrates it with pictures from the time.

Both of these posters are avaliable from allposters.com
