I’m not sure who took these pictures, but they paint a vivid (black and white) picture of what hardships really look like, and should give us all an appreciation for how easy we’ve got it.
I would be happy to credit the photographer of these pictures, should someone notify me.
America…
during the years of
1935 – 1939
great pics!
Some of the images (if not all) are by Dorothea Lange who worked for the Resettlement Administration which later became the Farm Security Administration. The next to last image is one of a short series that produced what many feel is the iconic image of the Depression which you’ve probably seen before:

This set has been sent around. I was wondering if you knew where it came from. A number of people have put the images on a web site with no attribution for the photographer(s). Thanks in advance for any information you have.
Thanks for the info. I really appreciate your thoughtful research!
