I've become addicted to trying to bring back the original vibrancy of these images. My first test is here: www.flickr.com/photos/alec_fredericks/2198620547/ By adjusting the color balance, contrast and levels, I think I've found a way to bring back the natural colors and facial details ravaged by time.

Her blouse was made from the same fabric used to package the processed sugar.

These people don't look happy at all compared to some of the photos of the white American field workers.

bf5390: they had to work really hard to eat very little and live a hopeless life of work and no progress-staying servants to rich thieves. Now Would you look happy? like the field workers from usa-i think is what you mean when you say "american" ...

I am thinking the white field workers I have seen don't look so happy either... unless they were posed. Working for the rich (with no vested rights in property) is humiliating and dehumanizing.

Ricky Flores said:
Rio Piedras is a town in Puerto Rico. Again not sure why the question mark after the town. Could it be that LOC is not sure it was taken there?
The Library of Congress said:
rigglord, Glad you're enjoying the photos! Because the title does not appear in brackets, it is transcribed from an original source. Generally, a title is transcribed from the original picture, or from a photographer's logbook or negative jacket. If the picture carries no caption a title is devised from another source and displayed in brackets. Devised titles are written by Library staff, or they might come from a published book illustration or a former owner.

And this one was used for the cover of "Tortilla Flat" by John Steinbeck, Penguin Modern Classics edition.
