    I should know this and I'll probably kick meself when I find out but...
    There's a photo from the Depression of people somewhere in the USA lining up for bread, with a Norman Rockwell 'American dream'-style painting on a billboard behind them. Can anyone name the photographer for meh? Thanks in advance.

    Sounds a bit like it could be Walker Evans.
    You can actually order real free prints of his from one of the museums in the states.
