Lunch atop a Skyscraper
Here it is: “Lunch atop a Skyscraper,” the most famous photo of unsafe working conditions in history. Taken in 1932, for many years the photo’s author was unknown, but from 2003 onwards it has been attributed to Charles C. Ebbets. While it looks authentic, the picture was actualy posed – ordinarily, workers wouldn’t all line up quite so close together for lunch.
