Russell Lee took some amazing photos in his career. Your colorization of this one is very well done.

We just wonder how they all made it. Lived with hardly anything. Nice work on this.

Rob, to me you've emphasized, by your perfect way of colorization again, both misery and happiness in this old photographic time document. Very well done per usual, my friend!

It is an amazing photo - they are not posing - they look so natural. Your colourization is superb.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Your decisions on how to handle these old pics are always spot one, as is the case here, and I like how you mainly chose to emphasize the dresses of mother and daughter...interesting how they are both made from the same bolt of fabric...another fave for me.

World War II, a monster event that consumed not only people but materiel from food, to clothing, to weaponry, was uniquely profitable for American fabrication and commerce. FDR's social programs started pulling the United States out of the oppression of the Great Depression, but it was the war that finally killed it. Shot and presented in 1939, three months before Hitler invaded Poland and 2-1/2 years before America was pulled into the war by the Japanese, one would hope that this family benefitted from the boost to our economy. At the very least, the older boy in the doorway, who appears to be around age 8, would still have been too young--15 perhaps--to go off to war. I, too, noticed the same cloth used for the dresses as Pat did, and I recall seeing patterns like this in collections from that time and, ironically, two of the dresses I saw were this very same color, so great choice, Rob! As for this family, their home, clothes, and even the absence of water for cleaning, must have been oppressive for them... they certainly do not look happy, but rather making do under the circumstances. The youngest children here may now be in retirement homes, reminiscing over these drearier days.
