Color pictures from the Great Depression

Here are two of storefronts that I especially liked:





There are 68 more pictures on the Denver Post. The photographs encompass everything from people to places to farms to train yards.

Looking at some of the pictures, it's pretty amazing to see how people lived back then. And all the advertising in the picture with the school children? Yeah, I don't think that'd go over too well today.

It's a good reminder that colors were just as bright back then, and that printed materials weren't always scratched and degraded. It's natural to think so, since so much of what we have from that era is, well, messed up.

You'll have to see my archives if you ever make it to Oberlin.
