EDITORS COMMENTS
Getting a Rise in the World: A Daring Act of Courage and Innovation in 1912 New York This photograph, taken in 1912, captures the daring spirit of construction workers as they build the tallest skyscraper in the world at that time for the Woolworth Company in New York City. The image shows a lone workman, suspended high above the bustling streets of Manhattan, holding on to the building's exterior with nothing but rope chains. Thousands of New Yorkers gathered below, gazing up in awe at the spectacle unfolding before their eyes. The building, which would later be named the Woolworth Building, had progressed to the thirtieth story, and the installation of the massive steel girders required the workers to perform this daring feat. The lack of safety equipment, a common practice during that era, added to the risk and excitement of the construction process. The photograph offers a glimpse into the ingenuity and determination of the builders and workmen who shaped the New York City skyline. Their courage and skill in constructing these architectural marvels paved the way for the modern skyscraper era in America. This image, taken by the Illustrated London News Ltd/Mary Evans, is a testament to the human spirit and the relentless pursuit of progress.
