Only color photographs taken of the effects of the Depression on America’s rural and small towns

Hope you have a little time today to click on this link for some amazing color photos of America from 1939-1943. A good friend shared this was us and the feeling you'll get viewing them will not be forgotten. 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.

Lee & Carol, These are amazing! I know that they are reprints from slides, but they are so crisp and clear for being nearly 75 years old!
