"""Lunch Break engages a history of photographic meditations on the worker by figures such Eugene Atget, August Sander, and Lewis Hine, but despite first appearances there is nothing anachronistic or quaint about the renderings.... When subtle details coalesce, Lockhart's view onto the workers' lunch break ultimately suggests more than simply a moment of respite from a day's work; it reveals a pause taken from the immense mechanization of war to reclaim a modest sense of self-possession by partaking in simple comforts.""
