The distinguishing feature here is the panoramic format, which stretches the skyline and the Brooklyn Bridge across a wide frame and lets the eye travel from the bridge's stone towers to the crowded street grid of lower Manhattan. Brooklyn Bridge opened in 1883 after nearly fourteen years of construction under John A. Roebling and his son Washington Roebling, and it was among the first major suspension bridges to carry road, rail and pedestrian traffic together. Black and white panoramas of this kind were popular in the early twentieth century, when long negatives and specialized cameras captured the rapid growth of the city's towers. Look along the cables and the spires behind them to see how the view records a city building itself upward.
