Hoisting a load in an old town, 1937

A thick rope ends in an iron hook that swings in front of a weathered sandstone wall carved with a date and a mason's mark; the camera looks up from below at an old man in a black hat who watches as the rope runs up toward a gable hoist. Many old houses still had a beam and pulley under the gable to lift goods into the loft.
