Photo Files: "wanna knuckle samwich?"

Lunchtime Atop a Skyscraper 1932


A large copy of a classic photo appears on the wall of Bubba's, a diner in south-east London. In it we see eleven steel workers, perhaps riveters, taking a lunch break hundreds of feet above Manhattan, NY. There seems to be no end to the photograph's fascinating details.

     Man on right: But it was here next to the pastrami.

     Left: Fer the last time. No! Ya wanna take it outside?
