EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by the talented photographer Lewis Hine in 1932, transports us back to a pivotal moment in American history. The image showcases a group of fearless construction workers perched precariously on a steel girder, an astonishing 800 feet above the bustling streets of New York City. As they take their well-deserved lunch break at the building site of the iconic RCA Building in Rockefeller Centre, we are reminded of their unwavering determination and resilience. In this extraordinary snapshot frozen in time, Hine masterfully captures both the physical danger these workers face daily and their indomitable spirit. With each worker engrossed in his meal while surrounded by nothing but open air and towering skyscrapers, there is an undeniable sense of camaraderie among them. Their shared experience binds them together as they find solace amidst the chaos. Hine's early photography skills shine through as he expertly frames this scene against the backdrop of New York's ever-evolving skyline. Through his lens, we witness not only a simple act of dining but also a testament to human strength and adaptability. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported to an era where progress was marked by towering structures reaching for new heights. It serves as a reminder that behind every great architectural marvel lies countless unsung heroes who risk life and limb to shape our world into what it is today.
