The LoC libraries are great. The FSA tagged ones are particularly good. The Farm Security Administration at the time, ’30s and ’40s, hired the best photographers of the day to document the lives of American farmers. You’ll probably recognise this shot.

That shot was taken by Dorothea Lange, btw.

The olden days were so cool, the government commissioning photographers to take pictures of farmers? Man…

Thanks for the history lesson on America, McHaggis
