One of a kind photographs of the Brooklyn Bridge as it has never been seen before, mysteriously draped in safety nets. A a real treat for the eye.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bridge of Dreams, September 17, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Bridge of Dreams: The Rebirth of the Brooklyn Bridge (Paperback)

The photographs in this book vividly capture a very unique period of the Brooklyn Bridge as it was being restored in the late 1980's. The use of black and white photography, together with the unusually decorated subject matter, namely the Brooklyn Bridge draped in safety nets, make for a visually stimulating combination.
