Title: Captured.. America in color 1939-1943
Post by: Teresa Heilevang on November 24, 2010, 11:08:29 PM

These images, by photographers of the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information, are some of the only color photographs taken of the effects of the Depression on America’s rural and small town populations. The photographs are the property of the Library of Congress and were included in a 2006 exhibit Bound for Glory: America in Color.

Is it not amazing the quality of the pictures, taken 70 yrs ago, and you know not everyone had a Halselblat camera. Very nice and appreciated.
