Great Depression Captured: America in Color from 1939-1943

http://extras.denverpost.com/archive/captured.asp

Some amazing images... I love looking at the world gone by where previously all we knew was black and white imagery.

70 years from now people will look at pictures from today's great depression.

Everybody in picture 13 looks absolutely terrified.

Fantastic!

Looks like people had nicer clothes in the 40s.

picture one is exactly what i think of when i hear the name Joad.

that was great. good find.

The early 1940s look like Planet Gummo

trains used to be so awesome

Some great pictures there. Makes me want to have another look at the ones from around 1900. In Russia possibly. Somebody posted the link here but I can't remember where it was?

The Russian ones from around 1910 are from Sergey Produkin-Gorsky I think.
