A switchback road cuts across bare, dry hills, and a single automobile is making its way along the curve. Automobile pictures of this kind from the early and middle twentieth century often show the road itself as the real subject, since the new highways were opening up rural country that had been hard to reach by wagon or rail. Scenes like this one reflect the rapid spread of motoring in the United States, when paved routes and cars began to change how people traveled, worked, and thought about distance. Look at the thin ribbon of pavement against the open slopes to see how the land was reshaped to carry traffic.
