Lunchtime Atop a Skyscraper, c.1932 by Charles C. Ebbets

This image was taken during the construction of the RCA building in 1932. The photo was taken from the 69th floor, and today, the fact that the men wore no saftety harnesses is daunting, but during the Great Depression of 1932, men were willing to take any job they could find, regardless of the risk.
