EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the construction of the iconic Brooklyn Bridge. The image showcases the immense scale and complexity of this engineering marvel, with its four main cables composed of an astounding 5000 strands of steel wire. In the foreground, we see a group of men standing on one of these cables, their presence highlighting both their bravery and the inherent danger involved in such a monumental undertaking. A sign prominently displayed warns that only 25 men are allowed on the cable at any given time, cautioning against walking close together or engaging in any sudden movements. It even instructs them to break step while crossing – a precautionary measure taken to prevent resonance that could potentially compromise the structure's stability. The tragic loss of engineer John A. Roebling during construction adds another layer of significance to this photograph. Left unfinished by his untimely death, it was his son Washington who took up the mantle and successfully completed what would become one of New York City's most recognizable landmarks. Through this remarkable image captured by Hulton Archive/Getty Images, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in history when human ingenuity triumphed over adversity. It serves as a testament not only to the skill and dedication required for such an ambitious project but also to those who risked their lives every day high above the East River waters below.
