Note du spécialiste

In the early 1980's Tennyson Schad, founder of the Light Gallery, began to have printed a selection of 60 original Kodachrome transparencies from the collection of the Library of Congress. While the edition size is stated as 250, judging from the almost nonexistent references or auction records relating to this series of photographs it can be surmised that no where near that number were ever realized. Photographers include Jack Delano (18); Russell Lee (25); John Vachon (4); Marion Post Wolcott (8); and 5 unknown.
