(NEW YORK CITY.) Yewell, J. Floyd; artist. Pair of lithographs of the proposed George Washington Bridge. Lithographs, 34 1/2 x 21 1/2 inches and 19 x 35 1/2 inches; both with moderate foxing and light wear, the first cropped to the image, the second with a faint vertical band of dampstaining, a short closed tear, and pencil "#115/150" and partial signature in lower margin. Np, 1931
Two large-format views of what has become the world's busiest motor vehicle bridge, connecting the northern part of Manhattan with Fort Lee, NJ. These prints both show the bridge with observation galleys at the top of each tower, galleys which were never actually built. A similar view of the bridge by Yewell was used as the frontispiece of the official bridge dedication program in October 1931 (not included), suggesting that these prints may have been commissioned by the Port Authority.
