1860 - Kissing Bridge
This bridge over Turtle Creek (modern-day 50th and Second) was known from its earliest days as one of Manhattan's most popular "Kissing Bridges" - its location miles north of town, amidst the charming landscape, made it a favorite escape for young couples in search of some secluded privacy. Kissing bridges emerged in the 18th century, all over the island; The New York Times explained in 1900: “every gallant Knickerbocker was supposed to express his regard for the lady he met there in the manner indicated.”
Matting & Framing Options
You can customize your print's presentation from a wide selection of frames and mats: modern or classic - all timeless. See the options here.
Our most popular style is Modern Black - Thin frame, coupled a White Mat with Black Core. The Modern White frames will match any style and are perfect for gifts. Looking for something with more bang? The gold and silver frames may be what you want. See examples here.
Mats are not offered with Gallery frames at the moment (but look great without them!).Frame Sizes
All frames are custom cut and sized to match the dimensions of the image. Your final, framed print might not exactly match the dimensions listed in the Frame Size dropdown menu.
The maximum dimensions of each frame size are:- Keepsake: Up to 5" x 7"
- Accent: Up to 9" x 12"
- Spotlight: Up to 16" x 20"
- Centerpiece: Up to 34" x 36"
- Gallery: Up to 32" x 40"
Because of the original pixel size of the scans, not all prints are available in all sizes.
Shipping & Delivery
Shipping is always free!
Prints will be scanned at the archives, and retouched by our artists to make them pixel-perfect. They will then be reprinted, trimmed, matted and framed to fit their custom sizes.
You should expect the final, framed print in 4-6 weeks. Because each print is custom researched, retouched, and framed, all sales are final.
