Titled in pencil, lower right margin. Very few examples have sold of this image. The Library of Congress has this titled simply “Bridges.” I have also seen this listed as “New York Bridges.” The National Museums of Liverpool have it titled at I have it listed. The Altera Art website states, “Joseph Pennell's 1908 etching "The New York Bridges from Lower Manhattan" provides a captivating bird's-eye perspective of the city. The artwork showcases the iconic Brooklyn Bridge, along with other bridges spanning the East River, with a bustling cityscape of Lower Manhattan in the foreground. This etching is a testament to Pennell's mastery of the medium, capturing the urban landscape with detail and depth. Its historical significance lies in its portrayal of the city's rapid growth and modernization during the early 20th century.”
