EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the monumental construction of the Hell Gate Bridge in Queens during the mid-1910s. The bridge, spanning a section of the East River known as Hell Gate, served as a vital link between Astoria, Queens, and Wards Island. Built exclusively for railroad traffic, this engineering marvel remains one of the strongest bridges in existence. The image showcases the immense scale and intricate details involved in constructing such an architectural masterpiece. Towering steel arches rise from sturdy foundations while spans stretch across the river's body of water below. A sense of awe is evoked by witnessing workers toiling away amidst towering cranes and scaffolding. Intriguingly, vessels including ships, barges, and tugboats navigate through this bustling construction site - a testament to human ingenuity coexisting with nature's forces. This juxtaposition highlights both man's ability to conquer challenges posed by geography and his reliance on waterways for transportation. Frederic Lewis skillfully captured this historic moment with his camera lens, freezing it in time for future generations to admire. This remarkable photograph not only celebrates technological advancements but also pays homage to New York City's rich history as a hub for innovation and progress
