    This one is of I think 10 or 12 builders taking a lunch break, all sitting side-by-side on a beam high above New York (I think) city. Its a black and white photo from the 30s or something. I don't know what its called, and I can't find it using that description in google.

    I know exactly the photo your talking about. I have no idea what its called or how to describe it tho :(

    Pretty sure a few of the workers are irish and (im guessing here) theres probably some american indians too? DUnno if that helps with the google search.

    nice one, thanks. The quality seems a bit bad in that jpg... do you know the name of the picture so that I can search for a better quality version? My brother said a few of them were irish as well, mostly Irish and Italian immigrants.
