Captured: America in Color from 1939-1943 = From Depression to War

[mEDITate-OR:
These are stunning.
For those who think that "economists" are truly blind, to the world of reality, this first set of photos was listed on Catherine's NYTimes blog site.
Beautiful pictures from just before to during WW2.
So, see if YOU can see "the end of the Great Depression" and/or the beginning of The War.
These are MUCH larger photos that we - you, me and U.S. - usually get from newspapers on the web.
Enjoy!!

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.
