I call bullshit... the world didn't get color until the 50's.
 Seriously though, that's really great material. They have a whole different feel from most of the photos you see from that era.

That being said, these are really cool. Oddly enough, even though I've learned a lot about FSA photographers, I've never seen these photos before. Come to think of it though, it's not that odd - there's still an attitude against color photography in editorial and journalism work, even though it's not as prevalent as it was back then or even in the 60's.

Some of those are large format photos (starting at #42).. I'm guessing 4x5, if only because larger cameras would have been even harder to manage.
I'm having such a massive geek moment - I so dig this stuff.
