From the Back Cover

Praise for Barbara Mensch's Work

The charm of this book, its foremost value, is that it proceeds from the viewpoint of a superb visual artist who uses this particular structure and cityscape, the Brooklyn Bridge, as her muse. It is this personal encounter with the physical sites of her protagonists that makes the book so
unusual. As well, her exploration of the inner chambers of the bridge is novel and thrilling.--Phillip Lopate

Barbara Mensch's photographs . . . are like images from another era, rediscovered documents rom the time of Stieglitz and Strand."--Photograph Magazine

"What is clear is the tremendous research undertaken to bring this project into print."--Net Galley

"As Mont St. Victoire was for Cezanne, the bridge has been a constant in her life and art."--Bonnie Yochelson, New York Times

"From her top-floor studio in a warehouse abutting the Brooklyn Bridge, Ms. Mensch has, since the late '70s, snapped the waterfront in all its grit and glory."--The Wall Street Journal

"Her photographs have real 'staying power' like a true 'Mensch'"--Bruce Davidson, photographer

Mensch, Barbara G.: - Barbara G. Mensch has had numerous exhibitions of her photographic work. Her images are represented in some of New York City's most prestigious galleries, and her work is included in important collections, including those of MoMA, the Museum of the City of New York, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, Fundacion Televisa of Mexico City, the Bibliothèque Nationale, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
