EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of sheer bravery and historical significance in the construction of the Empire State Building in 1930. The image shows Carl Russell, a fearless workman perched precariously 350 yards above street level on the dizzying tower block, engaged in operations to build the world's tallest building at that time. The sight of Russell working high above New York City is both awe-inspiring and nerve-wracking, showcasing the immense danger and skill required to construct such an iconic skyscraper. His courage and determination are evident as he navigates the towering girder structures with ease, embodying the spirit of those who fearlessly built some of America's most famous landmarks. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the incredible feats of engineering and construction that went into creating one of New York's most recognizable buildings. This image serves as a powerful reminder of human ingenuity and perseverance in overcoming seemingly insurmountable challenges to reach new heights – quite literally in this case.
