Brooklyn Bridge, New York, USA. Artist: Excelsior Stereoscopic Tours
Brooklyn Bridge, New York, USA. Designed by John Augustus Roebling, the Brooklyn Bridge (foreground) over the East River was heralded as one of the most important construction projects of the 19th century. When completed it was the longest suspension bridge in the world. Roebling died of tetanus in 1869 after his foot was crushed in an accident during construction. His son, Washington, took over as chief engineer, and saw the project to its successful conclusion with the assistance of his wife Emily after Washington himself was incapacitated by an attack of the bends suffered while working below the river bed.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Brooklyn Bridge, a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance. Designed by John Augustus Roebling, this architectural marvel was hailed as one of the most significant construction projects of the 19th century. The bridge's grandeur is captured in this aerial view, with its majestic suspension stretching across the East River. The story behind its creation is equally remarkable. Tragically, John Roebling lost his life to tetanus after an accident during construction crushed his foot. However, his son Washington stepped up as chief engineer and led the project to completion with unwavering determination. Even when he fell victim to decompression sickness while working below the river bed, Washington's wife Emily Warren Roebling took charge and played a crucial role in overseeing its successful conclusion.
