| Description: | GAZETTE “Northumberland. Winter’s Beautiful, but - Icy Mantle - has fallen - full early - in the North Country.” Northumberland. Man works at side of road with shovel. He stands next to a field covered with snow. Pan across snow covered road. Good shot of lots of icicles hanging from rock face. Shot of snow covered valley with lots of icy trees. A waterfall runs through the middle. Shots of park benches covered in snow. Very scenic. (Northumberland footage is currently missing from WPA. Schleswig footage exists.) Intertitle reads: “yet in Germany - vast tracks of the countryside in Schleswig are inundated.” Schleswig, Germany. Water rushes of weirs in the German town. People move furniture out of flooded house. The inhabitants are standing on planks of wood. A punt is used to ferry people between flooded buildings. Shots of flood waters where a river has broken its banks. A motorcyclist rides through shallow floods. Good shots of sunset over floodplain. | |
