Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information Photographs – in color!

The Denver Post has featured a fantastic selection of some of the only color photographs taken as part of the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information effort during the period of WWII, 1939 to 1943.  The photo below of a fair barker was taken right here in Vermont, at the grounds at the state fair in Rutland, in September of 1941.
