Meet the National Parks’ ‘ranger of the lost art’

(Annie Tritt | The New York Times) Doug Leen, a retired backcountry dentist who collects and reproduces national park posters created by Works Progress Administration artists, at his home on Alaska’s Kupreanof Island, Aug. 19, 2020. Leen has made it his life’s work to track down as many of the original WPA national park posters as he can, after they were scattered across the country for 70 years with few records.
