IRT Worker, 1904


Lorenzo di Lavoro,
a construction worker
who helped to construct
New York City's original
subway line that
is called the
Interborough Rapid Transit Company
or
the IRT for short.

He was one of the forgotten thousands
that worked to build the  New York City
subway that we know today.

Our hats off to you Signore di Lavoro!
