#BrooklynBridge #NewYork #SouvenirPostCardCo #New-York #Germany #theBrooklynBridge

The image is a vintage postcard showing the Brooklyn Bridge from New York, as indicated by text at the bottom of the card. The bridge spans across a body of water with moderate waves visible on its surface. On either side of the river are structures that appear to be dockside buildings and boats moored near them.

#BrooklynBridge #NewYork #SuccessPostalCardCo #theBrooklynBridge #NewYorkCitys

The image depicts a postcard showing the Brooklyn Bridge in New York. The bridge is an iconic suspension structure with two large towers and cables that run between them, creating pathways for pedestrians on its walkways. Several individuals are visible walking across; one person appears to be leading or guiding another who seems less steady on their feet. They're dressed in what looks like early 20th-century clothing: hats, coats, and trousers prevalent during the era of such photographs. The sky is a clear blue with no clouds suggesting fair weather conditions at the time it was taken. Below the bridge, parts of New York City's skyline can be seen in the distance, including other buildings that are smaller but recognizable as part of an urban landscape from this period.

#EastRiver #BrooklynBridge #NewYork #theBrooklynBridge #NewYorkCity

The image is a vintage postcard featuring the Brooklyn Bridge over East River in New York City. The bridge stretches across the center of the frame, connecting two urban areas with bustling activity on both sides. On one side of the river, there's a dense cluster of buildings and structures indicative of an industrial or commercial area from what appears to be late 19th or early 20th century design styles.

The waterway below is dotted with several boats; some appear larger, possibly cargo ships or ferries, while others are smaller vessels that could be rowboats. The sky has a soft haze and the overall color tone of the postcard suggests it's either faded over time due to exposure to sunlight or printed in muted colors typical for early 20th-century photography.

The bridge itself is captured from an elevated perspective, giving viewers a broad view of its massive steel framework that contrasts with the surrounding urban environment. The card includes text at the bottom indicating "East River and Brooklyn Bridge: New York," along with a postcard number (89135) in red ink on the top right corner.

The paper around the image shows signs of age, such as creases or slight wear, suggesting that it may be an original vintage piece rather than a reproduction.

#BrooklynBridge #EastRiver #Germany #HHagemeister #NewYork #theBrooklynBridge #EastRiver #NewYorkCity

The image depicts the Brooklyn Bridge viewed from an elevated perspective, looking towards its eastern riverbank. The iconic bridge is constructed with two main suspension towers and several connecting trusses in a dark hue, standing prominently against a backdrop of urban development. Surrounding buildings are shown in various states of construction or completion, indicative of early 20th-century architecture with flat roofs and varying heights. A body of water flows beneath the bridge's roadway, bustling with boats including ferries, tugboats, and cargo vessels, suggesting active maritime activity during that era.

The photo is labeled "Brooklyn Bridge, Looking up East River," and appears to be a vintage postcard or print due to its sepia-toned quality. The background reveals more of the urban landscape beyond the bridge's span with additional buildings, streets filled with vehicles, and smokestacks from industrial structures indicating an area undergoing growth and transition during this period.

The overall scene captures both the architectural grandeur of a pioneering engineering feat and the lively atmosphere of New York City as it expanded along its waterfront.
