Title Photograph of men loading pigs onto a cart at Kironan Pier, Aran Islands.
Description Photograph of men loading pigs onto a cart at Kironan Pier, Aran Islands. Three men surround a medium sized pig in the centre foreground. They bend down to it. A forth man, behind the pig, faces the back of the waiting cart, where a second pig is already loaded. All four men wear flat caps. A horse stands attached to the cart. Part of a boat is visible in the left midground. On the pier beside it is a black and white colie dog. In the right midground a man walking in this direction, and a woman with a bicycle walking away, can be seen. There is a splatter of soil in the centre foreground.
