ABOUT THIS IMAGE
The Benjamin Franklin Bridge, originally named the Delaware River Bridge, is a suspension bridge across the Delaware River connecting Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Camden, New Jersey. The bridge was dedicated as part of the 1926 Sesquicentennial Exposition, celebrating the 150th anniversary of the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence. At completion, its 1,750-foot (533-meter) span was the world's longest suspension bridge, a distinction it held until the opening of the Ambassador Bridge in 1929. The name was changed to "Benjamin Franklin Bridge" in 1955 when a second Delaware River suspension bridge connecting Philadelphia and New Jersey was under construction (the Walt Whitman Bridge).
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Etcher, painter, and architect, Anton Schutz was born in Germany in 1894. He studied at the University of Munich, earning a double degree in mechanical engineering and architecture. His interests then turned to art, and he attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. After completing his artistic studies, Schutz came to the United States in 1924, where he met Joseph Pennell. He assisted Pennell in his classes at the Art Students League, New York, and became his professional associate.
Schutz was commissioned by The New York Times to make etchings of New York and other American cities. He completed a series of illustrations for the magazine section, traveling as far west as San Francisco. Schutz then traveled to Japan, Russia, and China in 1928 and 1929, creating etchings published by The New York Times and the New York Herald Tribune. The United States Chamber of Commerce commissioned him to create a series of twelve etchings on American cities, later reproduced in Nation’s Business Magazine. Other of his etchings featuring European and American cities were included in publications of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Schutz also served as the president of the New York Graphic Society and the Louis Icart Society.
The works of Anton Schutz are represented in numerous museum collections, including the Library of Congress, the New York Public Library, the Brooklyn Museum, the Chicago Art Institute, the Cleveland Museum of Arts, the British Museum, the Bibliotheque Nationale de Paris, and the Uffizi Galleries in Florence.

59th Street Bridge, original realist New York City landscape
By Michael Davis
Located in Spring Lake, NJ
A veritable life line for New York City that connects the boroughs of Manhattan to Queens, NYC artist Michael Davis painted this original landscape in a realist style to ensure capturing the might and splendor that such an architectural and engineering achievement represents to civilization and certainly to New York. A colorist, Davis seeks simplicity of expression, with clean lines paired with love of his subject matter balanced with aquamarine skies and sapphire blue water. His addition of sky scrapers in the background adds scale and dimension. Davis earned his BFA from Pratt Institute of NYC where he is a life member of the famed Art Students League. Davis' work has shown in the Grand Central Gallery, the National Academy of Design, the Salmagundi Club and the National Arts Club among others. This original oil painting is shown in a champagne silver plein air frame...
