Lewis Wickes Hine: The Construction of the Empire State Building, 1930-1931
Presents photos by Lewis Wickes Hine, who "was commissioned to photograph the construction of the [Empire State] building in 1930. Taking many of the risks the construction workers endured, Hine photographed the workers in precarious positions while they secured the iron and steel framework of the structure. In order to obtain the best vantage points, Hine was swung out in a ... basket 1,000 feet above Fifth Avenue." From the New York Public Library.
