America in Color from 1939-1943
 

What an amazing set of pictures. Thanks for sharing!

Hot damn, what a find.

I'll have to give it more attention when I've got some more free time, because what a treasure.

So far, I'm loving how the news was relayed at Brockton Enterprises. We have something similar at my building that displays changing headline stories from the internet. That this sort of thing was done by hand boggles my mind.


Oh, and that Jack Whinery is one fine-lookin' fella.

I guess the five kids mean he was straight, but perhaps it was just the mores of the day that forced him into an unwanted marriage. Even if he wasn't playing for our team - damn he was hot!

Ya know, in a great depression kinda way. :rolleyes:

Unpossible. It is well known that the world was black and white until about 1958 when 20 years of color movies proved it wasn't just a passing fad and the United Nations finally passed colorization.

Lovely color and amazing photographs! I loved seeing the 1930's dress prints in vivid color. Even the reproductions are faded like the quilts these fabrics sometimes became.

It is interesting that the West is sparsely represented here. There is one picture from California.

I like it. I certainly do.

Ilikeit!

Is this Rosie The Riveter?

I almost made a joke that would have best been in the tasteless joke thread and even then I'd probably have gotten in trouble.

:snap: :cheers:

What an incredible find! Fantastic photos!
