Men
at Lunch / Lón sa Spéir
Scannán ar cheann de na grianghraif is aitheanta riamh. Pictiúir a tógadh i
Nua Eabhrac i 1932. Aon fhear déag oibre suite go sócúil
ag ithe a lóin ar ghiarsa atá crochta 69 urlár os cionn
na sráide, ar an Rockefeller Building.
Thuill an pictiúir cáil mhór agus is iomaí brí siombalach
bainte as ag fealsúna agus ag lucht ceardchumainn. Ach
do mhuintir na Sean Eaglaise, i ndeisceart na Gaillimhe,
tá cúis eile lena thabhairt chun suntais. Creideann siad
go bhfuil beirt dá muintir féin sa bpictiúir.
New York City, 1932. America is in the throes of the Great Depression, the huge
influx of Italian, Irish, and Jewish immigrants has led
to unprecedented urban expansion. A photograph "Lunch atop a Skyscraper," is taken during the construction of 30 Rockefeller Plaza. In it, eleven workmen
taking their lunch break while casually perched along a
steel girder – boots dangling 850 feet above the sidewalk,
Central Park and the misty Manhattan skyline stretching
out behind them.
For 80 years, the identity of the eleven men – and the
photographer that immortalized them – remained a mystery:
their stories, lost in time, subsumed by the fame of
the image itself. But finally the photograph is beginning
to
give up some of its secrets.
