View of stacked bales of straw covered in black plastic, Mainz, Germany
1979
- There are nine photographs by Klaus Frahm which show stacked bales of straw or "reet" in Hamburg, Germany (PH1985:0285, PH1985:0292, and PH1985:0294), Mainz, Germany (PH1985:0287 - PH1985:0290), Tirrenia, Italy (PH1985:0286) and Toscana, Italy (PH1985:0293). "Reet" is apparently a swamp grass or reed used for thatching roofs in northern Germany (see the photographer's inscription on photograph PH1985:0294). Four of the photographs show bales of straw or bundles of reet stacked in various ways (PH1985:0285, PH1985:0289, PH1985:0292, PH1985:0294). Photograph PH1985:0287 shows a stack of bales of straw covered in plastic. The remaining four photographs show bales of straw stacked in the form of houses (PH1985:0286, PH1985:0288, PH1985:0290, PH1985:0293).
