Capturing America

The Denver Post‘s blog recently posted some beautiful Depression-Era photos that belong to the Library of Congress.

The collection instantly renewed our excitement about working with Davis Ayer to design and publish a book focusing on the hundreds of color slides he’s collected that were taken between the 1940s and 1960s. A few of the slides can be previewed at his Kodrachome Restoration Project Flickr set.
