Item: #4325

This piece features a highly detailed illustration of a temporary footbridge suspended high above the East River. Intrepid workers and sightseers can be seen braving the narrow wooden planks, with a bustling 19th-century New York harbor and cityscape serving as a dramatic backdrop.

The original caption reads: "A Promenade in Mid Air-The Brooklyn Ascent To The Bridge Tower-Drawn By Schell and Hogan."
