uk666 5,298 Report post Posted April 18, 2018 Lunch atop a Skyscraper, 1932 It’s the most perilous yet playful lunch breaks ever captured: 11 men casually eating, chatting and sneaking a smoke as if they weren’t 840 feet above Manhattan with nothing but a thin beam keeping them aloft. That comfort is real; the men are among the construction workers who helped build Rockefeller Centre. But the picture, taken on the 69th floor of the flagship RCA Building (now the GE Building), was staged as part of a promotional campaign for the massive skyscraper complex. The photographer and the identities of most of the subjects remain a mystery. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
