Lunch atop a Skyscraper 1oz .999 Silver Coin 1$ Niue 2025
 
“Lunch Atop a Skyscraper” is an iconic black-and-white photograph taken in 1932 during the construction of the RCA Building (now known as 30 Rockefeller Plaza) in New York City. The image shows eleven construction workers casually eating lunch while seated on a steel beam suspended about 850 feet above the streets of Manhattan. Despite the dizzying height and lack of safety equipment, the men appear relaxed and even cheerful, embodying the daring spirit of the era’s industrial workers during the Great Depression. 
 
The photograph was taken as part of a publicity campaign to promote the skyscraper and has since become a symbol of American resilience, diligence, and aspiration. Although the exact identity of the photographer remains debated—often attributed to Charles C. Ebbets—its cultural impact is undeniable. It captures a striking contrast between human vulnerability and technological progress, highlighting both the danger and determination involved in shaping the modern urban skyline.
