George Washington Bridge At Sunset Postcard
John Alsdorf is a photographer in Washington Heights NY in Upper Manhattan who has the good fortune of having a full view of this bridge from his window. He did a series of the bridge at different times of the day. My interpretation is done in pastels on black paper while the sky was fiery and would eventually change into a serene blue blanket across the horizon. The bridge is near the sites of Fort Washington (NY) and Fort Lee (NJ), which were fortified positions used by George Washington and his American forces in his unsuccessful attempt to deter the British occupation of NYC in 1776. The GWB connects Washington Heights in Manhattan to Fort Lee, Bergen County, NJ, Interstate 95 and US Route 1/9 cross the river via the bridge. You will see the bridge in movies like "How To Marry A Millionaire, The 7 Ups, Aftershock: Earthquake in NY and The Other Guys. Even the video games "Metal Gear Sokid 2 & "Sons of Liberty" use the bridge in the intro title. It was opened to traffic in October 25, 1931.

Exactly what I wanted, it is very difficult to acquire Vintage Australiana items. I am so please that I ordered 8 I will be using them for my scrap booking and Junk Journaling. Gorgeous, Zazzle produced and delivered exactly what I wanted.

Way better quality than I ever expected. I love the colours, font and quality of the card. I'm so pleased I found Zazzle as it is near impossible to purchase Vintage or Retro Australian memorabilia online. I chose this design when I purchased them. They are perfect for my projects. I was very specific about what I wanted. I know where to come now when I need to order similar items.

Perfect for the occasion I was using it for.
I was able to delete the lines so I could put in more wording.
Had an envelope so the address side wasn't necessary. Print quality and paper quality lovely.
