Photograph number 267, one of four views by A. Loeffler of Thompkinsville, Staten Island, shows the East River Bridge, now known as the Brooklyn Bridge. Copyrighted in 1900 and 1901, the series dates from nearly two decades after the bridge opened in 1883 as a link between Manhattan and Brooklyn. Designed by John A. Roebling and completed under his son Washington Roebling, it was among the first large suspension bridges to use steel wire cable. The caption details are unverified, so the exact vantage point is best confirmed against other sources.
