Walker Evans

Walker Evans was an American photographer who was known for taking photos of the USA during the Great Depression during the late 1920s and 1930s, he would also turn them into postcards. He would also take some fairly iconic images of the depression era America.

 This photo was taken at National Biscuit's New York cracker factory. This postcard was taken in June 1948. It shows how the factory looks during working hours it shows that it isn't that busy as they are probably still building up the business after World War II. This probably wouldn't attract me to New York, even though now it is vastly different. It really shows the industrial side of New York and not the tourist side of it, which is what most of the postcards actually are of.

 This image was taken at a bath house at Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas. It shows several men using the facilities there. To me it is a decent postcard as it shows off some of the facilities but it doesn't really show off part of the park that people are most likely to want to see.
This image was taken sometime during the 1920s. It probably wouldn't attract me to the place now, but I believe that nearly 100 years later it is likely to have changed drastically over time.

This photo was taken in South Coventry, Connecticut. This image was probably taken shortly after World War I. It does look like a Victorian Era photo but Evans was born in 1903 after this era. It was taken at the RR Station and it shows of that it is a small place to stop and it would probably have attracted people to it when it was taken but I believe that it wouldn't now because if it is still there it has probably changed a lot since this photograph was taken and people who saw this image would probably want to see it how it is in the image.
