EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in history - the sweeping of the Empire State Building, New York City's iconic landmark. Taken around 1931, this image showcases a brave workman diligently cleaning the highest sidewalk in the world on the 81st story of this architectural marvel. Standing at an astonishing height of 1,248 feet above street level, it is awe-inspiring to witness such bravery and skill. The photograph also highlights another fascinating aspect - the anticipation surrounding the arrival of the great dirigible Los Angeles attempting to moor atop this towering structure. As clouds drift by in the background, one can't help but feel a sense of vertigo imagining what it must have been like for these construction workers employed in such dangerous conditions. This historic snapshot transports us back to an era when Manhattan was bustling with progress and ambition. The monochromatic tones add a timeless quality to this scene, emphasizing its significance as both a historical document and a work of art. As we gaze upon this single man performing his duties high above New York City streets, we are reminded not only of his courage but also how famous buildings like these become symbols that define cities. This vintage photograph from Underwood Archives truly captures an unforgettable moment amidst urban development and serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination.
