Empire State Building Window Washer

(Original Caption) 3/24/1936-New York: Ahh-h-h!Air like wine.An unusual picture of one of the intrepid window washers working on the Empire State Building,as he pauses in his task to draw a lung-full of clean air at his height.With the oncoming of the warmer weather our skyscrapers begin to look like giant ant-hills as these washers clamber over the faces of the structures calmly doing their nerve-tingling work.Or maybe the fellow pictured here is just issuing an invitation to the cameraman to come a little closer.
