Captured: America in Color from 1939-1943

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

A friend posted these on another site, I thought you might enjoy them, even though they are reprinted for color.
Some how to me thought, the stark severity of the time, seems to have been taken away with the addition of the color


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.
