Captured: America In Color 1939-1943
The Denver Post’s always-interesting photo blog recently published an array of color photos, taken between 1939 and 1943, by photographers commissioned by the Farm Security Administration and the Office of War Information. See them all on the Denver Post’s Plog.
This photo is by the late Russell Lee, one of the most famous of the FSA Stryker team photographers (along with photogs like Dorothea Lange and John Vachon).
