Brooklyn Bridge (New York City Landmark) (NYC) Bumper Sticker

This design features a painting by the Impressionist artist Ernest Lawson (1873–1939). It shows the Brooklyn Bridge, which is a famous landmark in New York City (NYC). The bridge spans the East River between Manhattan Island and Brooklyn on Long Island. When it opened on 24 May 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world, with a main span of almost 1,6000 feet. It provided the first fixed crossing of the East River. The bridge was originally called the New York and Brooklyn Bridge or the East River Bridge but was officially renamed the Brooklyn Bridge in 1915. In this painting, a yellow sun can be seen setting in the distance behind the Brooklyn Bridge. The sunlight is reflecting on the water. The original artwork was painted by Ernest Lawson circa 1920.
