From the Great Depression to World War II - photos from the American Memory collection

DONNA LAFRAMBOISE aka TripodGirl
The American Memory collection contains more than 162,000 images taken between 1935 and 1944 by government-hired photographers. If you were to look at 100 of them per day, every day, you'd need more than four years to view them all. As a photographer, I consider these images nothing short of wondrous. This blog showcases some of them.

Five photos of this big-screen beauty queen are included in the collection. The first is pure glamor. The other four involve stockings (the sort held up with garters).
