Physical description

Black and white rectangular photograph. The black and white photograph depicts a man kneeling on the ground laying bricks. In the foreground, in the bottom right hand corner, a line of bricks can be seen stacked diagonally in a line like a small fence. The man kneels behind these bricks, holding a brick in his right hand with a masonry trowel beside his left hand, and a wheelbarrow behind him containing the mortar mix. To his left, slightly behind him, sits more mortar mix laid out on a board of some kind. The man wears glasses, a collared shirt, trousers, and sandals with socks. Behind the wheelbarrow in the background, another row of bricks can be seen, and continues off the right hand side of the image.
