The Library of Congress now has a Flickr page, and they’ve been uploading all sorts of cool images from their archives. A lot of these pictures date back to before your parents were born, or at least to when they were kids. Sometimes I think that those WW II era propaganda posters portrayed a false idealization of the American type, but some of these photos make me think that life really did look like that. All men smoked a pipe and wore a hat. No women ever left the house imperfectly coiffed. Must have been exhausting.
