Summary:

May 24, 1983 marked the 100th anniversary of the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge, a remarkable feat of 19th-century engineering which stands as a monument to its designer and creator, John A. Roebling and his son Washington, who took over the project after his father's death. Shapiro offers a collection of over 160 prints and photographs showing plans for the bridge, all stages of its construction and of the people who worked on the project, as well as the changes made from the days of trolleys and elevated trains to today. Brief, descriptive text complements the illustrations. ISBN 0-486-244403-2 (pbk.) : $7.95.
