EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Triborough Bridge from Hellgate" takes us back to the bustling streets of New York City in 1936. The image showcases the monumental achievement that is the Triborough Bridge, a $64 million marvel connecting Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx. The photograph offers a breathtaking view down the East River from over Hellgate. In the center of this vast panorama stands one of the main spans of the bridge, an architectural masterpiece that symbolizes progress and connectivity. As we explore further into this historical snapshot, our eyes are drawn to various landmarks on both sides. On the left side lies Long Island City and Astoria, vibrant neighborhoods brimming with life. At their lower left corner sits the Municipal Pool in Astoria—a testament to public recreation during those times. Meanwhile, crossing Welfare Island (now known as Roosevelt Island) is another iconic structure: The Queensborough Bridge gracefully linking Manhattan with its neighboring boroughs. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of human ingenuity and determination. It encapsulates an era when massive bridges were built to pave new paths for urban growth and development—an accomplishment that continues to shape New York City's landscape today.
