I finally got a chance to look through a bit of the images on flickr from The Library of Congress this past weekend and came across the gem at the top (couldn't this image be almost in the pages of Domino or over at Apartment Therapy)? Taken between 1941-45, we would love this in our kitchen! Check out the color of those jars! And the two images below that are from their actual site online archives taken by Walker Evans - we did a search on kitchens - I just want to print these out as they are (with the color tabs and all) and frame (they actually have the high resolution to do so). Man, one could be there forever searching out images. A nice sunday afternoon thing.
