Charles C. Ebbett - Lunch atop a skyscrapper: An inspiration

Charles C. Ebbett's iconic picture titled " A Luncheon atop a Skyscraper ( New York construction workers lunching on a crossbeam)" was taken on the 69th floor during construction of the GE Building at the Rockefeller Center in 1932. It has been a source of inspiration for several ad campaigns globally.

The outdoor advertisement of Lego, titled " Builders of Tomorrow" was released in June 2007, by Jung von Matt Advertising Agency. It won Cannes Gold in 2007.

 Sony also draws inspiration from Charles C Ebbetts vintage photograph, using the tag line: In photography: Timing is everything.
