EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 1930s, a time when New York City's skyline was forever changed by the construction of the iconic Empire State Building. The image showcases a group of fearless steel workers perched on girders high above Manhattan, their silhouettes beautifully captured against the backdrop of a bustling city. Lewis Hine, renowned for his powerful photographs documenting American industry and labor during this era, skillfully captures the bravery and determination of these men as they work tirelessly to shape one of the world's most famous skyscrapers. With beams and cables surrounding them, each worker is seen meticulously maneuvering hooks and pulleys with unwavering precision. The photograph not only highlights the physical demands of constructing such an architectural marvel but also symbolizes progress, development, and human ingenuity. It serves as a testament to both individual resilience and collective effort in building something that would become an enduring symbol of American ambition. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the extraordinary feat accomplished by these unsung heroes who played an integral role in shaping our modern world.
