'The Plaza in Andamarca in the Province of Carangas. The town is empty almost the whole year round. The doors of the houses are locked, the streets deserted. All the inhabitants of this quaint place are working on the surrounding ranches and plantations growing corn, quinoa and different varieties of potatoes; the soil is particularly favourable for this latter plant and quite frequently tubers weighing two to three pounds are encountered. And only once a year the inhabitants come home, open their houses and celebrate the day of the patron saint of the town. For a whole week people drink and dance and spend their year's saving. With empty hands and thick head they return to a year's work' by Roberto Gerstmann (1928). Vintage photographic book plate, 14.0 x 18.5cm, 5.5 x 7.25 inches
