Title Photograph of a man handing up a rope to another man on the roof of a cottage.
Description Photograph of a young man handing up a ball of thin rope to another young man on the end of a ladder on the roof of a cottage, Inishmore, Aran Islands. The man on the ladder wears wellington boots, trousers, a jacket and shirt. He holds the rope with both hands. The man below wears similar clothes, although his feet are out of shot. There is a tear in his right jacket sleeve, at the elbow. Another man, wearing a cap, is visible in the right background. He sits on the far side of the roof. The thatched white washed cottage has a wall connect to it. The roughness of the gable end suggest that another building was attached on the right. The cottage, and men on the roof, are framed by the sky.
