A couple months ago my terrific In-Laws picked up this nifty vintage Hudson Valley commemorative “post-card” from the Brooklyn Flea around the corner.
The illustrations inside were pleading to be framed. The problem was that the pictures were 3½ X 5½, a little small for a decent frame. Traveler Nell, undaunted, found a discount framer right here in Brooklyn that made a custom frame…for $16! Art to Frames received the order and we had the frame in less than a week.
Here it is on the wall
And here are the specific illustrations in detail. The Rip Van Winkle Bridge
The Mid-Hudson Bridge
The GWB. When I moved to NYC 15 years ago this month I made a promise to my friend Mike who helped me move down here that I would never refer to the George Washington Bridge as the “Gee Double-yew Bee.” Sorry Mike.
