Hi all

I am looking for a classis black and white photo I had seen approx two years ago.

The black & white classic is of workers at a construction site of a sky-scraper in the early 1900s, sitting on a metal bar, suspended in mid air very high up. The handfull of workers are opening lunch boxes and sharing coffee from flasks with the mist of the city below in the background.

My only thought is that this was the construction of a New York skyscraper.

plse assist

I am online looking for the same photo, but it has been tough to find. If it helps, I think it was taken by a man named Lewis Hine.

Good luck

I have this Picture hanging on my wall. I'm not sure if your looking for this picture on the net . If your not then you can find this picture at a local art store.. Ask to see a few books look under Photo's and Architecture. You are right the Photo is taken in New York City and the name of the Photo is called Lunch on a Skyscraper 1932..No name on the Photo sorry..

I believe the building is the Rockefeller Center, artist unknown, 1932. I do not believe that it is part of the hine collection.

I found the poster sized print at Hobby Lobby (9-28-02) entitled "Lunch Atop Skyscraper" Rockefeller Center, New Yok, 1932. I had it framed there too. It's a wonderful print. Hope this helps others. Carla
