Depression doesnt look to bad in color.

Thanks for posting that.

I see your 1940s color photos and raise you 1870s French color photos,

I have to agree, it does not look so bad in color. I thought they had it so much worse having to walk around in black and white but now that I know they had colors back then....

I thought there was a way to order prints from the Library of Congress??? Anybody know?

Since when is the 40's the depression?

I wondered about that too, and found that I guess technically the early 1940's could be considered part of the great depression. I still would have called those photos "WWII era photos"

Some consider the end of the Depression to be mid WWII especially those out side of the U.S. where the recovery took longer.

Only if you aren't the ones being invaded and bombed.

Obviously. I was referring to the people in the pictures, not the poor bastards refilling shells in a paper house in Tokyo.

thanks railroad.

wtf with the french photos?

RIP Kodachrome :(

This is really cool and worthy of a peruse, but I would run afoul of TGR netiquette if I didn't mention that this was posted previously. :)
