The photo show, "Bound for Glory: America in Color" displays 70 digital prints made from color transparencies taken between 1939 and 1943. The portraits capture the effects of the Depression on the country's rural and small-town populations, as well as America's economic recovery and industrial growth, and the mobilization for World War II.

 

The photos not only document life in America, but also the development of a new era — the Kodachrome era. The exhibition showed a vibrant, color world which typically had been viewed only through black-and-white images.
