Bernard Sanders
Bernard Sanders, George Washington Bridge Under Construction (from New York)

1927

About the Item

Clearly a view from New York City across the Hudson River to the New Jersey Palisades, this small format packs a wallop! Construction of the bridge was begun in 1927 and this scene is fairly early in the project but still might be 1928? It's a wonderful bridge, beautiful in the day or lit up at night, but absolutely spectacular on the Fourth of July when cars on the top level pass underneath an an enormous American flag. (Especially great coming from the New Jersey side.) An experience not to be missed. In any case for wonderful views opt for the upper level leaving the lower 'Martha' for for another time. The print is signed in pencil. There are near platemark breaks in the paper indicating it is among the first impressions made. Scarce.
