An illustrated romp through the imagination, culture, art and history of the Brooklyn Bridge and its influence on America. In the mid 19th century, the dream, desire, money and technology all came together in one place and time to create a new world wonder of a bridge. The Great East River Bridge (as it was known before officially taking the title of the Brooklyn Bridge) was a bridge of imagination, science, engineering, art, sacrifice and economic progress. The bridge was not only a wonder of its time, it stands today as an iconic masterpiece to American innovation and functional longevity.

But it is more than a bridge or even an architectural masterpiece. It is also a symbol of progress, effort, and the indomitable spirit of creativity. The bridge represents a soul of sorts. A soul of the city, of the people, of progress, of history, of blood and sweat, of sacrifice, and much more.
