The East River span shown here is the Brooklyn Bridge, which connected Manhattan and Brooklyn when it opened in 1883 after nearly fourteen years of construction. Its main span of roughly 1,595 feet was the longest of any suspension bridge in the world at the time, and its granite towers with pointed Gothic arches rose well above the harbor. By 1895, when this view was published, the bridge had become a symbol of the city's growth, and popular panoramas like this one let viewers take in the crowded river, ferries and streets from an impossible height.
