Description Hand colored photo from 1908Original title: New York, N.Y., Brooklyn BridgePhotographer: Detroit PublishingLocation: Somewhere towards the end on the NY side.We are standing on the Brooklyn Bridge, some where on the NY side of it. As you can see it mostly carried people, streetcars and trains, along with carriages. That structure at the end is the 'Bridge Railway', which opened on September 24, 1883. The station carried elevated trains and streetcars, there was a station on both sides of the bridge. The railway had a carrying capacity of over 200,000 passengers a day, the largest recorded amount of people was on October 12, 1892 where they had 223,625. Since its opening however, they had a hard time with capacity, and while they expanded it over the years, they ended up closing it in 1904, using it only for 20 years. Citing that it had safety concerns, today there is no trace of this building. As for the city, much of it is totally different, most buildings are gone, there are a few small ones in th e back that are still in use, that white one behind the station I think is a prison, and that white one just to the right of it, still exists. Mostly the advertisements are practically the same.
Mike Savad, Westfield, NJ Member Since August 2009 Artist Statement My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind creations. Photo realistic is what people think of first. There are many themes, flowers, porches, and local Suburban Scenes, some city, some urban. I also have many Job inspired images that cover a quite a range. If your looking for a gift for your Pharmacist, Doctor, Dentist, Lawyer, Barber, Gardner, Fireman etc, there should be something there for you. These will look very nice hanging on your wall, or in a waiting room, even a hotel room. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance.
