‎NEW YORK AND BROOKLYN BRIDGE‎

‎NEW YORK AND BROOKLYN BRIDGE (Bridge n°1) John A Roebling. Designer and 1st Chief Engineer. Superbe vue panoramique en couleurs de la ville de New York‎

‎New York, Joseph Koehler, 1903. 645 x 975 mm.‎

‎Superbe lithographie originale imprimée en couleurs du panorama urbain new-yorkais en 1903. John W. Reps, Views and Viewmakers of Urban America, 2772. La vue lithographiée en elle-même mesure 545 x 935 mm. Ce spectaculaire panorama représente le Lower East Side de Manhattan visible depuis la rive de Brooklyn. L’East River est traversée par le Pont de Brooklyn qui, reliant les deux rives, domine cette vue gigantesque. On y observe la skyline new-yorkaise du début du siècle, la vive activité portuaire de la ville avec de nombreux bateaux à voiles et à vapeur, le trafic automobile sur le pont suspendu et les traditionnels drapeaux américains surplombant les tours du pont de Brooklyn. Cette lithographie témoigne de l’effervescence de la métropole américaine devenue, au début du XXe siècle, la plus importante ville industrielle des Etats-Unis et le premier port mondial. Quant au Pont de Brooklyn, suspendu au dessus de l’East River, sa construction fut achevée en 1883. Elle est l’œuvre de deux hommes: un père et son fils. John A. Roebling; le père, conçut l’architecture innovatrice du pont, et à sa mort son fils Washington Roebling en finalisa la construction. A sa création, le Pont de Brooklyn était le premier pont suspendu à câbles d’acier. C’était également le plus long pont suspendu au monde, jusqu’à la construction du Williamsburg Bridge, à New York, en 1903, date de réalisation de cette lithographie. La légende au pied de l’illustration fournit des informations techniques sur le pont: largeur du pont, longueur totale de la chaussée, diamètre des câbles, etc. Il y eut un second tirage de cette lithographie en 1916, mais de taille beaucoup plus modeste (395x 586 mm). Joseph Koehler est un lithographe réputé de New York qui exerça entre 1890 et 1911. Son entreprise était spécialisée en impression de lithographies et chromolithographies. Il était également l’un des plus importants éditeurs de cartes postales et de cartes de vœux de l’époque et était reconnu pour la qualité de ses chromolithographies. Rare et exceptionnelle chromolithographie représentant une vue panoramique de la ville de New York et du Pont de Brooklyn 20 ans après sa construction.‎
