Brooklyn Bridge and East River Harbor Scene, Early 20th Century Negative (WWI-Era Collection)
This early 20th-century photograph captures the Brooklyn Bridge and the busy East River waterfront, part of a collection of negatives associated with World War I-era U.S. Army Air Service training at Scott Field, Illinois, and subsequent service in England. Images like this offer a personal glimpse of New York Harbor as it appeared to servicemen passing through the city en route to training or overseas deployment during the First World War.
