Kayakers on the Rhine bank below Cologne Cathedral, 1937

On the sloping stone bank of the Rhine, a man and a woman in white sports vests and dark trousers bend over two kayaks drawn up at the water's edge, unpacking bags while a boy in dark clothes watches; across the broad river rise the twin spires of Cologne Cathedral, the roofs of the old town and the arches of the Hohenzollern Bridge. Canoeing and kayaking on the Rhine were popular weekend pursuits, and the folding kayak was the young townsman's boat.
