Captured: America in Color from 1939-1943
There are good photographs and bad ones, some touch us and others leave us cold. But sometimes, a picture can be a tiny time-machine. I think the pictures in the gallery below have to be counted among those; they transported me back to a period in the USA I don't know much about. The faces of the people captured in these pictures tell me more than most of the books I've read.
CAPTURED: AMERICA IN COLOR FROM 1939-1943
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.
Very impressive.
