Though color photography has been around since the Civil War, until fairly recently it was too expensive for the masses. From 1935, when Kodachrome was invented, until probably the mid-1950's, color photography was a luxury few middle class Americans could afford. That's why when you see a rich color photograph like the ones above, it stops you in your tracks.
Study these photos too long and you'll get a little teary-eyed. So much has changed; yet nothing has changed.
These rare shots were found on one of the best blogs on the net, Shorpy.com.
