EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant color lithograph captures the anticipation and grandeur of a forty-seven-story hotel being completed in New York City. Created by Italian illustrator Achille Beltrame, this artwork showcases the bustling construction site with workers diligently erecting girders and constructing the iconic skyscraper. The image also tells an intriguing story within its frame. To commemorate the laying of the highest armor, the hotelier had an extravagant idea to offer a breakfast served by a balancing waiter on one of the towering girders. Two lucky worker leaders were chosen as guests for this unique dining experience, enjoying their meal high above the city skyline. The caption suggests that they believed nothing could whet their appetite better than breathing in that fresh mountain air at such heights. Beltrame's illustration was originally featured in Courier Sunday on April 12th, 1931, capturing both American industrial progress and a touch of whimsy amidst hard work. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the architectural marvels but also glimpse into historical moments where creativity met practicality. As we gaze upon this scene, we are reminded of New York's ever-evolving skyline and how it continues to shape our perception of modern architecture. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and ambition while showcasing America's prowess in construction industries during that era.
