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.

Aztec & Early Mexican Costumes, Set of 2 Antique Prints, 1500–1525 This striking pair of early 20th-century costume plates offers a vivid and historically valuable depiction of Aztec and early Mexican dress during the 16th century. Illustrated by Max Tilke and published by Ernst Wasmuth A.G. in Berlin, these prints belong to one of the most respected costume‐historical series of the period. Tilke was known for his meticulous research and his ability to translate ethnographic sources into richly detailed, accurate visual reconstructions. These two plates are among the most vibrant and desirable in the entire publication. Plate 144 presents warriors and nobles in full ceremonial and military attire. Jaguar warriors, eagle warriors, officers, and elite fighters are shown with their distinctive feathered headdresses, painted shields, quilted cotton armor (ichcahuipilli), and symbolic iconography referencing Aztec cosmology and rank. The colors and patterns reflect authentic codex sources, making the plate particularly valuable to historians of pre-Columbian culture. Plate 145 focuses on social classes and civilian dress from the late pre-Hispanic and early colonial period. Market vendors, weavers, young nobles, priests, and high-ranking women appear wearing garments such as tilmas, breechcloths, embroidered huipiles, feathered adornments, and body paint. Together, the two plates offer a rare, well-documented overview of everyday and ceremonial dress from Mexico around 1500–1525. The printing quality is exceptionally fine, with rich color lithography capturing the tonal variations of feathers, textiles, and painted patterns. These plates make a powerful impression when framed and are well suited for collectors of ethnographic art, museum-oriented interiors, historians of Mesoamerica, and designers seeking authentic cultural references. It is now uncommon to find both Mexican plates...
