A priest and travellers at a river crossing, 1937

Where cobbles meet the wooden planks of a landing, a young man on a motorcycle rides past with a woman in a flying helmet on the pillion; then a Catholic priest in a black cassock and broad-brimmed hat walks towards the camera, followed by a woman in white with a handbag, while a saloon car waits behind them. In 1937 the regime was putting priests on trial in a wave of morality prosecutions, and Pius XI had answered in March with his encyclical Mit brennender Sorge.
