Trying to find a magazine ad that featured the famous photo of the guys on an I-beam and then…?
…being swept off it later?
It was an ad in a photography magazine that showed the famous Ebbets photo of the crew having lunch on the beam and another beam swinging in that will obviously knock them off their perch. The ad purported to show the importance of timing in photography. I’d like to know the name and issue of the magazine and if the ad is available as a photo, print or poster. Thanks.
The title the first of the following photographs “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” or “Lunch at the top of a skyscraper” The author is Charles C. Ebbets. He is one of the more solid photographers of the world.
