JAMES E. ALLEN The Builders.
Etching, aquatint and drypoint, 1933. 250x303 mm; 9 7/8x11 7/8 inches, full margins. Edition of 100. Signed in pencil, lower right. Published by the Association of American Etchers, New York. A very good impression.
Closely-related in subject matter and composition to Lewis Hine's (1874-1940) iconic New York photographs of high altitude I-beam iron workers. The Builders by Allen (1894-1964) depicts daredevil riveters securing the steel beams of the Empire State Building. Ryan 62.
