EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a pivotal moment in the construction of one of New York City's most iconic landmarks - the Empire State Building. Taken by Lewis Wickes Hine in 1930, this print showcases the awe-inspiring placement of a steel girder, symbolizing the sheer determination and ambition that went into creating this architectural marvel. The image exudes an air of danger as workers fearlessly navigate towering heights while maneuvering heavy machinery. The steel structure looms above them, highlighting both their bravery and vulnerability amidst this colossal undertaking. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience in the face of adversity. New York City's cityscape provides a breathtaking backdrop for this snapshot in time. The skyline is forever changed by the presence of this skyscraper, which would go on to become an enduring symbol of American progress and achievement. Hine's masterful photography captures not only the physicality but also the spirit behind such monumental construction projects. This particular print from Bridgeman Images transports viewers back to an era when dreams reached new heights, reminding us that even seemingly insurmountable challenges can be overcome through determination and teamwork. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded that every great accomplishment starts with laying down its foundation - brick by brick or girder by girder - until it reaches unimaginable heights.
