The 70 colored photos were taken from 1939 to 1943 and are some of the only color photographs taken of the effects of the Depression on America’s rural and small town populations. Some seriously amazing stuff there. Makes me want to bang my head on the wall for not taking pictures of Salmiya back in the 1980’s. [Link]

Early – mid 80’s you were probably busy at kids’r’us to think about the colours outside. That place had so much colours insode that till this day I have a photographic picture of it in my head.
Late 80’s I was busy figuring out those weird creatures called “girls”.
Ok I just went through the pictures and they really make you want to go “Howdy Pardner!!!” or something to the effect – good stuff though.
did they really have color photography back then or are thes B&W converted to color?
wow..

Colored photos from around the world taken from 1909 to 1929. Really eerie. Here is the website of the photographer https://www.albertkahn.co.uk/
Wow I didn’t even know the World was in color back then. I thought everything was black & white before the 60s.
