Description
Photograph of a construction worker, ca.1935. A man in the center kneels on a wooden platform with both knees. The man wears what appears to be a denim jumpsuit as he looks down at a drill. He holds the drill with both hands as it burrows into the wood. The needle of the drill is embedded in the wood and has created a small pile of wood shavings around the newly formed hole. Construction materials are barely visible in the background because of the lighting.
