#28: Knife Grinders, France, 1900s
Some photos make you do a double-take when you look at them, and we have a feeling this photo might be one of those. Back in the early 1900s, knife grinders in France would work lying down on their stomachs to preserve their backs. Thiers, a town in France known for its cutlery production, was famous for such professions. A Profession like this might seem redundant today, but it sure looks comfortable.
