    Just a few miles down the road from here. The land still looks much like this, but with more trees. It's odd to see such an old photo that (other than the horse and buggy) could've been taken yesterday on just about any rural road a few miles from here.

    It's a shame there are JPG compression artifacts on these photos. And maybe some unsharp mask artifacts as well? Hey government worker, wake up.

    Check the Persistent URL: hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/fsac.1a33874 for the link to the original LOC page for this. From there you can get the 42MB TIFF if you really feel the quality of this isn't up to snuff.

    Thank you so much for engaging the Library of Congress in the new age of photo sharing. It is much appreciated by this citizen and I'm sure by many others. The LOC is one of the few stops in Washington I have yet to visit, and this gives me a window into what I've been missing. I can't wait to see the real thing next time I'm in DC.

    There is no sense of motion in the photo. The cart appears to be stopped. Perhaps for photographic reasons?

    We see black faces and they're underexposed; it was okay to make sloppy images of these guys?

    Most people have a hard time exposing for people of colour, now why this is is where the guessing begins. It has gotten easier with digital, but before that, I can only imagine. Take a look at my postings.

    @ "CASHAW" : Nice of you to politely point out the differance of quality between 1940's photography & the quality available now , but.... since Graycard's profile sez hes a "photographer" he might just have known that!!!....unless hes making some B.S. point of look how the poor neegrowz were treated then....opening the door to some A.C.L.U. you owe us some-such-schitt..... get over it & be thankful photos of the poor neegrowz were evin kept , hell the photo survived the cival rights period ~amazing~ too bad attitudes cant change like technology does.......
