EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1930, capturing a mesmerizing scene of the Empire State Building under construction. Aptly titled "Avenue of Girders" this image showcases the sheer magnitude and engineering marvel that went into erecting one of New York City's most iconic landmarks. Photographed by Lewis Hine, a renowned American photographer known for his documentation of industrial workers, this image perfectly encapsulates the spirit of early 20th-century America. The Empire State Building stands tall amidst a bustling city street, surrounded by steelworkers diligently working on its towering frame. The photograph beautifully captures the grit and determination of these men as they navigate through an intricate web of girders and cranes. Their hard hats serve as symbols of their dedication to constructing this monumental skyscraper that would soon dominate New York City's skyline. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the immense scale and complexity involved in building such an architectural masterpiece. The contrast between the steel structure against the backdrop of North Manhattan Street creates a striking visual narrative that speaks volumes about human ingenuity and progress. This print is not just a historical artifact but also serves as a testament to human ambition and perseverance. It reminds us that even in times when challenges seem insurmountable, with determination and collective effort, we can achieve greatness – just like those who built the Empire State Building over nine decades ago.
