Title
Photograph of a young man thatching a roof, Inishmore.
Description
Photograph of a young man thatching the roof of a cottage, Inishmore, Aran Islands. The thatcher, in the right background, sits on the top of the roof. There is a bundle of rye grass on the roof lower down. The young man wears wellington boots, trousers, a jacket and shirt. He works with both hands. The cottage walls are white washed. A wall connect to the cottage and the roughness of the gable end suggest that another building was attached on the right. The sky is visible in the left of the photo to the right background.
