Ebbets' famous picture Rockefeller Center, NY, in the making, 1932

one of the greatest (and eeriest) photographs ever made: the one of 11 men at lunch atop a skyscraper gird, Rockefeller Center, when it was being raised in 1932. I can't believe it's real, but didn't find any confirmation on it being a fake. In 2003 it was discovered that the maker of this picture was Charles C. Ebbets, I read (and someone before him, L.W. Hine, had already made similar pictures).
