Brooklyn Bridge - History in Captions
This is photo of the Brooklyn Bridge was taken in 1883, the year it was opened to the public. The photograph is available in its original form from the Library of Congress.

For easier viewing, here is a larger version of the graphic.
For further reading, I enjoyed the short book The New York and Brooklyn Bridge Illustrated, By Alfred C. Barnes. It is available, in its entirety, through Google Book Search.
