EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The Empire State Building: Skyscraper Workers, c1931" captures the essence of New York City's iconic landmark during its construction. Taken by renowned artist Lewis Wickes Hine, this image showcases the dedication and skill of the workers involved in creating this architectural marvel. In the photograph, a lone worker stands tall amidst the towering structure, dressed in his work attire and holding gloves. His gaze is fixed upwards towards the immense height of the building, reflecting both awe and determination. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to this snapshot from history. Designed by William F. Lamb from Shreve, Lamb and Harmon architectural firm, construction on the Empire State Building began on January 22nd, 1930. This monumental project was completed just over a year later when it officially opened on May 1st, 1931. Hine's lens beautifully captures not only the physical labor but also conveys a sense of pride that these workers felt as they contributed to shaping one of America's most recognizable landmarks. Their hard work symbolizes an era defined by progress and ambition. This print serves as a testament to their craftsmanship and resilience while providing us with a glimpse into an important chapter in American history. It reminds us of how human ingenuity can transform dreams into reality against all odds.
