No Way Like the American Way

Breadline During the Louisville Flood - Margaret Bourke-White (1937)


An iconic shot from LIFE magazine - one of my favourites.

  1. And a very ironic one as well, if I may add.

  2. Oh, amazingly so. I love the "ideal" family in the car - mother, father, two children (boy and girl) and the dog. Naturally, all white. It's this classic "wholesome" American ideal on the poster, contrasted with the queue of people for food. I wonder if they ever felt like there was "no way like the American way"?
