Lewis W. Hine's famous photographs document the construction of the Empire State Building, the world's tallest building at that time. In the brilliant black-and-white photographs collected in this volume, Hine pays tribute to the human spirit by dramatically contrasting the workers with the mammoth scale of the structure.
