[Pics] Color Photos From America’s Depression: 1939-1943

It’s safe to say that most people probably haven’t seen color photos of small town America during the tail end of the Great Depression. There is good reason for this, as the photos in this post are some of the only color photos taken during this time. Captured between 1939 and 1943 these photos show the effect the depression had on rural and small town residents. These photographs are currently owned and cared for by the Library of Congress.

Be sure to check out the additional 62 images from this collection located here too.
