BRIDGES: Across the East River to Manhattan


So do you think our intrepid travelers from yesterday would have made it as far as the Brooklyn Bridge? This photo was probably taken sometime between 1918 and 1925 when the American Art Publishing Company existed. Finkelstein & Son created the card.

So which of the two Finkelstein's, father or son, had the propensity to climb things? Which one was not afraid of heights? Being that I cannot find any historical information about either of them, I guess we’ll never know.

Here's another view of the bridge by the Finkelstein's. This night view is also featured on page 85 in the book Postcards of the Night by John A. Jakle.


Another bridge tomorrow.
