The Great East River Suspension Bridge, as seen in this lithograph from the Brooklyn shore, is the span now known as the Brooklyn Bridge. Completed in 1883 after nearly fourteen years of construction, it linked the separate cities of Brooklyn and New York and was, for a time, the longest suspension bridge in the world. Its designer, John A. Roebling, died from an infection after an accident at the site in 1869, and his son Washington Roebling carried the work forward, often from inside the caissons beneath the river. Views like this one helped the public picture a structure that many New Yorkers initially doubted.
