Additional Information
Emily Warren Roebling served as a liaison between her late husband, Washington Roebling, and the engineering crew on the Brooklyn Bridge, for which she is best known for helping in the completion of the iconic bridge that connects Brooklyn to Manhattan and remains one of the greatest feats of engineering of the twentieth century in modern America and is one of the most recognizable pieces of civic architecture in the United States. The bridge remains one of the most trafficked pieces of American transportation infrastructure and an integral part of the New York City metroplex, which retains the largest population in the nation.
Roebling's father-in-law became the chief engineer for the Brooklyn Bridge project, and Emily met Washington Roebling during the last year of the American Civil War at a soldier's ball she attended with her brother, Major General Gouverneur Warren, who served on the Union side during the conflict that divided the nation. Washington and Emily were married in a dual ceremony with one of her family members, after which the pair traveled to Europe to study caissons. These structures would serve as the watertight foundations for the bridge.
Following his father's death from contracting tetanus in an accident at the bridge site, Washington Roebling received the role of Chief Engineer. However, he would suffer from decompression during the project, and Emily would take over for over a decade. This iconic portrait of Emily Roebling captures her spirit and transports the viewer back in time.
