A road worker mowing the verge under a bridge, 1937

In the shade beneath an Autobahn bridge, a man in a flat cap, a sweater and dark trousers swings a scythe through the long grass of the verge beside the kerb of the carriageway, stepping forward with each stroke; the massive concrete piers and the planted embankment rise behind him, and pines stand beyond. Road workers kept the verges and planting of the new motorways in trim by hand.
