    The color is off,but this might be due to the materials available at the time, or because of deterioration over the years. The photographer did capture a good pattern of repeating shapes, straight and curved. The composition as a whole is very pleasing to the eye.
  • Tony Colonello said:
    The Library of Congress did not seem to take the time to color correct these old photos. But a few moments in Photoshop and you can see how truly beautiful and remarkable these photos were when they were taken.
  • J. Colerangle said:
    I notice that the colors are a bit dark, but I still think that the essence of the pictures are still captured in their entirety.
  • Alan Levine said:
    On recommendation of friends I visited in Paonia (in Delta County) in 2016 I stopped in the town of Delta to buy a box of them, here's the true color (and the taste was divine)

    Mulatto, which has its roots in the word 'mule'--the sterile offspring of a male ass and a mare--is a horrible word, that is associated to people of color. No one should allow themselves to be call a mulatto.
  • emmyr13 said:
    The title is from the original 1940's caption from the photographer. While 'Mulatto' is offensive to us, back then it was the everyday term for people of mixed race. Thank goodness we have progressed a little.
