Inhaltsangabe

Though Jack Delano's work as a photographer for the FSA/OWI is well-regarded, the extensive and diverse documentation of American railroads by the other photographers of the Farm Security Administration (FSA), along with their successors from the Office of War Information (OWI), is often overlooked. The FSA/OWI Photographers and the American Railroad brings together significant contributions from FSA/OWI photographers, including Delano, Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans, and seven others, who captured the essence of American railroading between 1935 and 1943. Featuring profiles of each photographer, little-known but excellent photographic sequences from across the United States from narrow-gauge railroads in Colorado and Nevada's Virginia and Truckee Railroad to New York's vanished Pennsylvania Station and Washington's Union Station, The FSA/OWI Photographers and the American Railroad shines a spotlight on this exceptional collection of railroad imagery from the 1930s and 1940s for a wider audience.
