Lunch
atop a Skyscraper (New York Construction Workers Lunching on a
Crossbeam) is a famous photograph taken by Charles C. Ebbets during
construction of the GE Building at Rockefeller Center in 1932.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://pinguy.infogami.com/blog/vwm6?="><DIV>
The
photograph depicts 11 men eating lunch, seated on a girder with their
feet dangling hundreds of feet above the New York City streets. Ebbets
took the photo on September 29, 1932, and it appeared in the New York
Herald Tribune in its Sunday photo supplement on October 2. Taken on
the 69th floor of the GE Building during the last several months of
construction, the photo Resting on a Girder shows the same workers
napping on the beam.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://pinguy.infogami.com/blog/vwm6?="><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/pinguy.infogami.com/img/DA7484C0-2D93-4AD3-987C-7FFCCB15B5DD" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://pinguy.infogami.com/blog/vwm6?="><DIV>Heres a rare image by the
