Manhattan Bridge, Seen Through the Cables of Brooklyn Bridge

Emil Otto Hoppé (mentioned on object), c. 1920 - c. 1930

Hoppé photographed the landscape and architecture of the modern world during his travels through North America. For his photography book about this country, he chose subjects that others ignored. The abstract nature of this photograph is emphasized by the cables of the Brooklyn Bridge. They form a sharp frame around the blurred image in the background that vanishes into a misty distance.
