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.

America at it’s best. Rough clothing, rough food, unspectacular marketing, patriotism and great people.

I did not see any fat people in any of the pictures. Those people worked hard and had discipline.

[humblegunner]

Incredibly awesome!

[JimRed]

Bump for later.

[Vinnie]

Thanks.
Amazing photos.
The color and detail of the photos rivals today’s technology.
Must be good ol’ Kodachrome. ASA 12. Hard to beat it.

A lot of those young children are alive today. Would be interesting to have a followup.

[Northern Yankee]

I absolutely agree!

I love the spirit of America coming through in the working people.

[Vinnie]

I noticed that too. No fat people.
