Magnificent work.
Who is not familiar with the great Farm Security Administration photographers’ work? One of FDR’s best ideas, these great photojournalists recorded the first Great Depression in stunning black and white.
As luck would have it, a friend sent along a link to the Denver Post with no fewer than seventy extraordinary color works. Most have wonderful color with the exception of #19, which has a bad magenta cast, which I have fixed and reproduce below. Click for the article and prepare to be moved.

Yes folks, your tax dollars at work, thankfully so. This is truly an amazing link, thank you for sharing it. The last one and #21 really stand out to me, but I have to say that “Rosie Riveter” #66 is my immediate favorite. Just awesome.
Many more amazing ones, as the LOC has posted over a thousand of these on Flickr.
