Smoke rises from a street fire of raked autumn leaves on Broadway in Norwich, Connecticut, seen from the corner of Otis Street looking toward downtown, with Memorial Park on the right. Jack Delano made the color slide in November 1940 while working for the federal government's documentary photography program. Burning leaves at the curb was a common sight in small New England towns of that era, when homeowners often cleared yard debris by fire.
