Lunch atop a Skyscraper is a famous photograph, depicting 11 ironworkers eating lunch on a steel beam 850 feet above the ground during the construction of Rockefeller Center in Manhattan, New York City. Often misattributed to Lewis Hine, the true photographer's identity remains uncertain, though evidence suggests it may have been Charles C. Ebbets. The photograph, a symbol of the Great Depression, has become an iconic image of New York and has inspired various artworks and tributes.
