Image-by-image historical notes
Step into the Golden Age itself — real Americans, in kitchens, farmhouses, and city streets, absorbed in the comics that shaped a generation. Selected from over 170,000 government documentary photographs of the era, this collection reveals comics not as nostalgia, but as lived culture.
Includes work from some of the greatest American photographers of the twentieth century, including Dorothea Lange, Gordon Parks, Esther Bubley, and Russell Lee.
