A mason pointing a wall, 1937

On a scaffold high up beside a smooth stone wall, a mason in a battered hat and white shirt kneels with a hawk of mortar in one hand and works along the joints with his trowel; behind him poles and a row of small flags stand against the sky over the site. The building trade was the first to profit from the regime's programmes, and by 1937 bricklayers were so scarce that they were being poached from one site to another.
