Lewis H. Hine (1874-1940), one of Americas best photographers, wrote this in his introduction to Men at Work, a book, he said, about men of courage, skill, daring, and imagination. And in 69 attention-riveting photographs, including those of the construction of the Empire State Building, he makes us believe once again in the heroism of ordinary people.

For this edition 18 additional and extraordinary Hine photographs of this constructio
