Book Reviews of A Picture History of the Brooklyn Bridge
Book Review: Another fine product from Dover publications
Summary: 5 Stars
Dover publishing has once again put out a quality collection of photographs and prints of New York City. Mary Shapiro's "A Picture History of the Brooklyn Bridge: With 167 Prints and Photographs" is as colossal, magnificent, and substantial as the subject of the book. While it might seem gratuitous to have 167 illustrations of the same structure, the different angles, times of day, events and maintain the audience's fascination. Of course, the older photos and prints that were created during the bridge's construction marvel the reader, and one begins to realize how massive an undertaking the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge really was.
This is an excellent visual companion to David McCullough's "The Great Bridge".
