Description
1975 Federal Energy Administration (pre Dept. of Energy) Monthly Energy Review – Silkscreen Poster
From the Department of Information’s ongoing series of vintage government report cover posters. Adapted from a real 1970s federal government report cover (this reprint is not affiliated with the U.S. government).
A peak example of late-modernist bureaucratic design—strict grids, Helvetica, and the lingering influence of 1960s Swiss/International Typographic Style—this cover transforms federal bureaucracy into art.
This medium-format screen print features the original 1975 Federal Energy Administration cover, rendered in substation-red ink and printed by hand on Cream Speckletone archival cover stock. Each print is signed, numbered, and pulled in NYC.
Using publicly available high-res archival scans, every imperfection—noise, glitches, and stray artifacts—is embraced and celebrated.
A bit messy, bit experimental. Each print is unique.
