This is mainly a multi-fandom blog, with an appreciation of beautiful landscapes and history. My most prominent fandoms right now are Homestuck, Elementary and One Piece. Occasionally I also reblog social commentary.

World War II-Era Kodachromes

These images are stunning. Not only do they showcase a few of the millions of “Rosie the Riveters” who worked in the defense industry during this time, but they do so in such brilliant quality. Kodachrome film was first sold in 1935, but it was discontinued in 2009, though its legacy through photos like these (plus iconic images like “the Afghan Girl”) still lives.

Most of the images are from Shorpy, but they were compiled here, where many other lovely images of 1940s America can be found.
