Item # 715042
May 26, 1883
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, New York, May 26, 1883 This is a doubly good issue, as the front page is taken up with five prints celebrating the: "Opening of the Great Suspension Bridge Between New York and Brooklyn", being the now-famous Brooklyn Bridge (see photos). Over two full pgs. inside are taken up with detailed text headed: "The New York and Brooklyn Bridge".
This issue also includes a very nice full page containing five illustrations of: "Goodridge's Plan for the Erection of the Statue of Liberty and Its Pedestal in New York Harbor", with corresponding text.
Sixteen pages, very nice condition.
