A Lineman Working On Telephone Wires At A Junction In Pratt, Kansas In 1911
We are perplexed by this photograph from 1911 that seems to show a lineman working on the telephone wires while standing at a crossroads. The work comprises being responsible for the construction and maintenance of the power source for telecommunication lines.
At that time, linework was widely regarded as one of the most hazardous occupations, which ultimately contributed to the development of labor unions.
