Color photos of Depression-era American small towns
The Denver Post collects some of the Library of Congress's best color photos from the early 1940s, chronicling Depression life in small towns.
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.
