The Brooklyn Bridge Over the East River, Between Long Island and New York Published in The Illustrated London News, June 1883. The engraving from The Illustrated London News, is from June 1883, shortly after the bridge's completion. The Brooklyn Bridge was completed and opened to the public in May 1883, and engravings and illustrations like this one typically followed soon after its opening. Description: This hand-colored engraving, published in June 1883 in The Illustrated London News, commemorates the completion of the Brooklyn Bridge, which opened in May 1883. It captures the newly finished bridge spanning the East River, linking Long Island (Brooklyn) to Manhattan, New York City. The detailed panorama shows the urban landscape with buildings and streets leading to the grand suspension bridge, symbolizing one of the greatest engineering feats of the 19th century. The bridge's enormous stone towers and suspension cables dominate the skyline, with a picturesque twilight sky framing the background. The engraving emphasizes the bustling waterfront, teeming with ships and ferries, highlighting the role of New York's waterways in commerce and transportation. The scene offers a glimpse into New York's rapidly growing cityscape, depicted with remarkable clarity from a rooftop perspective. The caption below the engraving reads: The Brooklyn Bridge Over the East River, Between Long Island and New York. This print, issued in *The Illustrated London News*, reflects the magazine’s dedication to visually documenting historic achievements in architecture and engineering. --- **About the Publication and Technique:** *The Illustrated London News*, founded in 1842, was the first illustrated weekly news magazine. Its pages were filled with engravings and illustrations that provided readers with vivid, detailed imagery of major events and landmarks from around the world. In the 19th century, the publication became known for its depictions of architectural and engineering triumphs, like the Brooklyn Bridge. The engraving was produced using the wood engraving technique, in which artisans carved intricate designs into woodblocks, allowing for mass reproduction in magazines. This specific print is hand-colored, adding a vibrant, artistic quality to the precise wood engraving.
