Crates of peaches in the orchard, Delta County, Colo. (LOC)

• Cosmos Traveler said:

  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)

• Quick Prose said:

  The ladders are NEW!!! I grew up in this part of the country and never saw a new ladder before. Probably used the same ladders in the 50's and 60's that were in these pictures. Probably still using them?
