I will take you into the heart of modern industry where machines and skyscrapers are being made, where the character of the men is being put into the motors, the airplanes, the dynamos upon which the life and happiness of millions of us depend. Lewis H. Hine (1874-1940) , one of America s best photographers, wrote this in his introduction to Men at Work, a book, he said, about "men of courage, skill, daring, and imagination. " And in 51 attention-riveting photographs, including those of the construction of the Empire State Building, he makes us believe once again in the heroism of ordinary people. Men at Work takes us into coal mines, heavy industry, and tire and airplane factories. We see railroad workers in the shop, on the tracks and as train crews. Foundation men, connecters, bellmen, hoisters, derrick men, plumbers-up, riveters, buckers-up, catchers, burners, heaters, welders, bolt boys, sky boys the various trades of construction workers build from bedrock that great monument and symbol of twentieth-century life, the Empire State Building. Hine, widely known for his pictures of immigrants arriving at Ellis Island and his studies of child labor, combines enormous technical ability with sensitivity and deep feeling. The people in this book do their job with pride, dignity, and skill. They are in control of the giant machines they use, at home in space, not dwarfed by their constructions. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.

First Edition. Small quarto. Hine's iconic images of the construction of the Empire State Building are the highlights of this book, which was originally intended as an industrial primer for children.

The Negro Children of New York. New York, The Children's Aid Society, 1932. An important presentation copy in a remarkable example of the rare dust-jacket, inscribed: 'To Owen R. Lovejoy / for his never-failing appreciation / of our work, many of the results / being the direct outgrowth of his / suggestions and optimistic criticism. / May his vision never grow dim.' Owen R. Lovejoy was a vehement opposer of child labour. He served as the general secretary of the National Child Labor Committee from 1907 to 1926, where Lewis Hine was a staff photographer and art director of their magazine 'Charities and Commons (later 'The Survey') between 1908 and 1917. Men at Work contains photographs made between 1920 and 1931, issued amid the worst employment crisis the United States had ever known. Hine saw it as a way of reaching out to schoolchildren, providing them with constructive role models and emphasising the human element of industry, with photographs of railroad employees, coal miners, aeroplane assemblers, steelworkers, and others. Among the most striking photographs are Hine's images of the construction of the Empire State Building, which Empire State, Incorporated, had used widely for publicity purposes. Hine always insisted on exerting control over the layout of his photographs, regularly requesting to see magazine proofs before publication. It is probably for this reason that he was not selected to work for the Farm Security Administration during the 1930s, with Roy Stryker, head of the Historical Division of the FSA, expressing concern that Hine may be difficult to employ and that it would be impossible to make the type of arrangements that he would have found satisfactory. Men at Work is the only book of Hine's photographs published in his lifetime. The Photobook: A History I, p126; The Open Book pp108 9; Auer Collection p187.
