Vintage USDA Report Silkscreen Poster: 1984-85 Directory of Professional Workers in State Agricultural Experiment Stations and Other Cooperating State Institutions

From the Department of Information’s ongoing series of vintage government report cover posters. Adapted from a real 1980s EPA 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 geometric art.

This medium-format screen print features the original 1984 USDA cover, rendered in custom experiment-station-purple ink and printed by hand on French Paper Co. Maduro Beach Speckletone archival 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.

  • 14″ x 18″

  • Printed on heavyweight acid-free French Paper Co. Maduro Beach Speckletone (recycled and produced using hydropower)
