[QUOTE="bobberboy, post: 157956, member: 1417"] I bought the book about a year ago. It is the catalog from an exhibition featuring this collection of color photos taken during the late depression years. As the caption said, these are among the few color images of the depression era and were taken by the Farm Security Administration (FSA). This group of photos is part of the larger documentation work that was being done by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) that put so many people to work during the great depression. Some of America's most famous photographers were working for the WPA or FSA during the depression and their documentary photography has become iconic of that era. These are pretty great photographs. If anyone is interested in seeing more of this kind of stuff, the Library of Congress has put a lot of their collection online. Here is their web url [url]https://www.loc.gov/pictures/[/url]. On the right side is the link [i]Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information Black-and-White Negatives[/i] to the FSA photographers. [/QUOTE]
