Lunch Atop A Skyscraper

Little people, coping in a big world

 

"Lunch Atop A Skyscraper" was taken as a publicity stunt to promote the construction of the new Rockefeller Center, but it quickly became a symbol of hope for a struggling nation in the midst of the great depression.

 

The iconic photograph, “Lunch Atop A Skyscraper,” has become synonymous with 1930s New York City. The photo features 11 construction workers casually having lunch while dangling 850 feet above the Big Apple.
