A woman leaving the telephone booth, Berlin 1937

Beside the booth, whose enamel sign shows a hand holding a receiver and the words Öffentlicher Fernsprecher, a man in a dark suit waits, glances round and fishes in his pocket; the door with its glazed panels swings open and a woman in a dark coat and white blouse steps out briskly, a bag under her arm. In 1937 most Berlin households had no telephone of their own, and the public booth was where most people made their calls.
