Whether marking a graduation, honoring a father or mentor, or celebrating someone’s resilience and dedication, this card offers a bold, quietly heroic tribute - perfect for life’s milestones and for those who keep things moving. In this now-iconic photograph, Lewis W. Hine captures more than industrial labor. Shot in 1920 as part of his series on American industry, it frames the poetry of precision and the sculptural elegance of human effort - a man and a machine, locked in harmony.
Currently held by the Brooklyn Museum, gifted by Lisa Rosenblum.
