The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 1
Photographs from a U.S. Army Quartermaster depot album trace the working life of an occupation-era supply installation in Germany, from stockpiled rations and stencilled crates to the graphics workshop, joiner's shop, and crane crews. Together they document the road-building, platform construction, and warehouse labor that kept supplies moving through postwar Europe.
