Brooklyn Bridge

We don’t seem to get much in here from Canada—but here’s something translated, illustrated, designed, and printed by Chicago’s Glenn Goluska after he moved north. Mayakovsky poemed this tribute while visiting New York in 1925, stunned by “something really good,” the architectural feat of the Brooklyn Bridge. Goluska’s woodcut panorama is really good, too, and it folds out to mimic a walk from Centre Street & Park Row to 55 Tillary Street. One of just seventy-five copies and shorter than the 1.1 miles the bridge covers over the East River, but still a good (and rare) experiment in bookmaking.
