By the way, the entire 1700 photograph FSA color photo archive is available online at the Library of Congress:

http://www.loc.gov/pictures/search?s...&c=100&co=fsac

If you want to see the 170,000 black and white photographs produced by the same program that would be here:

If old color photographs fascinate you, you might also be interested in these from Russia in the period 1906-1915:

The online catalog of the Prints & Photographs Reading Room is, in general, just an amazing resource.

my dad was already off fighting the war at the tender age of 19 or 20 when a lot of these pictures were taken. an incredible look at the world he often talked about, but I could never truly imagine.

even seeing it, its hard to imagine

endless thanks for those
