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.

The saturation is very distinctive - certainly gives you that "old picture postcard" feel. The dam provides a very impressive contrast to the "simple" living depicted in the rest of the photos.

It's the magic of Kodachrome, the film has archival color, I wonder how many of the digital images we have now will stand the test of time so well.
