A unique look at the early 20th century via some never-before-seen images
This is a good time to be on the internet if you're a fan of old photos. The most recent stash comes in the form of 1,000 photographs from the Farm Security Administration photo project that have been rediscovered at the New York Public Library. Originally part of a 41,000-item collection sent by the project's founder Roy Stryker to Ramona Javitz at the NYPL in the early 20th century, the photos are a glimpse into the rural American lifestyle.
