Caps Clean Colleagues Dirty Doorway Manual Premises Shabby Shirtsleeves Smart Trilby Waistcoat Worker
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a large group of construction workers taking a break outside a grand, imposing building in North America, circa 1910s. The men, dressed in a mix of workwear and casual attire, gather around the entrance or on the steps, their faces expressing a range of emotions from focused concentration to relaxed camaraderie. Some wear caps or hats, such as trilbies and flat caps, while others have rolled up their shirtsleeves or don waistcoats. The clothing of these workers reflects the diversity of their roles – carpenters, painters, builders, and more – all united in their shared labor. Despite the dirt and grime that comes with manual labor, some men appear clean and smart, while others are more shabby. The contrast between the pristine, newly constructed building and the rough, working-class men adds to the intrigue of the scene. The doorway and entrance loom large in the background, a reminder of the progress being made and the importance of their collective efforts. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating window into the world of early 20th-century construction work in North America.
