In photo after photo, Eugene de Salignac portrayed the complex process of constructing today’s NYC urban landscape
This photo of the Bklyn Bridge photo was taken by Salignac, who worked for the NY Dept of Bridge/Plants and Structures. During his lifetime, de Salignac's work was rarely seen outside of NYC gov't and his name was forgotten after his death in 1943. In 1999 an archivist realized a huge collection of bridge photos was the work de Salignac. Now his photographs are widely reproduced.
