Lunch on a Skyscraper

This photograph was taken in New York City on September 29, 1932 and published in the New York Herald Tribune on October 2 of the same year. It was taken by Charles Ebbets on the 69th floor of the GE Building in the Rockefeller Center. The image was founded by Otto Bettmann in 1936 and belongs to the Corbis company, now owned by Bill Gates (http//pro.corbis.com). The aerial view of Manhattan in the 1930's overlooking Central Park and the skyscrapers with the men sitting on a girder having lunch portrays to me the spirit and the greatness that built America.
