Lunch atop a Skyscraper, also known as „New York Construction Workers Lunching on a Crossbeam“, taken 1932 during the Great American Depression, is the most iconic photograph of a 1932 series of pictures taken on the construction site of the RCA Building in Manhattan, New York. Although impressive, the question lingers, is this picture real or fake? Who was the photographer? Was it Charles C. Ebbets or Lewis Hine? And have any workers been identified? Find out all about it right here! My name is Markus Kretzschmar and I love to learn about famous images in photojournalism history. So I decided to make videos about them which you can find on my channel.
