Description: Photo Poster Art Print by Charles C. Ebbets "Sleeping Atop A Skyscraper", New York City, Manhattan, RCA Rockefeller Center Building Backdropped by a spectacular view of Central Park, the photograph depicts New York City’s immigrant workers — who were mostly Irish and Italian but also Native American — as they break from their work building up the city in spite of the risks. At 850 feet above the city streets, Rockefeller Center — now one of the city’s most storied buildings — was a massive undertaking, launched in 1931. The project was considered remarkable not only because of its sheer size but also because of the economic impact it had on the local economy. According to Christine Roussel, an archivist at Rockefeller Center, the construction project employed somewhere around 250,000 workers in the midst of the Great Depression. But there was a catch: laborers had to work hundreds of feet above the ground and with little safety gear. Dimensions: Poster = 31.5 x 23.5 inchesImage = 26.75 x 18 inches
