Note 5 — PART I. (continued 2)

In the illustration of the Glacière de Saint-Georges, the opening to the left is the vertical pit, through which the ice is taken out: underneath it, is the heap of winter snow. The man in the upper part of the picture is standing on the rock shelf at the base of the upper ladder and at the top of the lower ladder. To the right of the lower ladder near the bottom, a bit of the ice curtain is visible.
